Ⅰ. Disappeared Boy Ⅱ. Destroyed Man Ⅲ. I Am Obliterated

from Here Comes The World by Hello Whirled

lyrics

How do you carry the weight of the world on your back?
And did they bother to write it down?
Why am I carrying their legacy down the tracks?
Is there a train coming, or is that just another sound?

What do you tell the man who oversees the world at large?
Especially when his hands are tied behind his back

I am an errand boy, I was born without a name
I have no goals in life, no dreams spring up at night
I have no secrets worth keeping, no joy, no fun, no game
I don’t remember faces, I don’t stay long enough to get them right
I have nothing to lose because I never win
I keep my head up high because I hold nothing tight


So who’s to say I can’t try anything?
Why can’t I at least attempt to say something?
If all I have to do is nothing
Then all I have to gain is everything

Nothing on the line
Nothing else but time

I am a broken boy, I expect nothing but death
But when wind blows through my cracks it feels like breath
The rain is backwards, guess that’s my 70%
As my bones turn into glass I see my chance to repent fleeing

Mind sharper than the thorns in his eyes
In dreams he sings like the stars of the world
Quiet in the sunset in an unmarked grave
Surrounded by the crosses he couldn't escape

Living for the one who let him down
In his shadow
