[bodytext] => "Drink your life up boy" The man walks up to me "Don't sip too much so fast You'll forget what you have seen" Watch you pacing Head down to the floor Quite a load to carry With the stories you control All the stories you control Head drops to the ground He slowly walks away I call for his forgiveness But he doesn't want to stay What did you dream, old man When you were as young as me "Boy don't begin to wonder now The evils that I have seen" What can we dream now? When are life begins to fade Theres nothing left to question And theres no way to escape Who have we become now? When are bodies are left cold Left walking all alone now With stories left untold Sitting across the road I watch what you've undone Drop your head to defend yourself From the evils that become "Stop drinking so much" Remind me once again "Indulge to much of life son You'll find it coming to an end" Watch it come to an end.. You walk by me slowly Down the roads of life you made Head left untouched here As your stories slowly fade How did you dream, old man When you were small like me Did you dream the earth away From the devils you have seen What can we dream now? When are life begins to fade Theres nothing left to question And theres no way to escape Who have we become now? When are bodies are left cold Left walking all alone now With stories left untold [comments] => 2 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 34 [informant] => CaptainSpaldo05 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )
