Cast upon him a burden            
a wicked curse            
born under the wrong agenda            
what could be worse?            
           
Life's value lost and hollow        
burned out,            
can anybody hear you?            
There's no way out!            
           
Trapped in a hell from which            
there is no escape,            
for being born on the wrong            
side of the moon            
life is cruel, look at his face            
           
           
His beauty untouched            
eyes having seen too much            
out of tune, out of touch,            
           
I can't even begin to imagine            
the human suffering where you are            
no laughter only sorrow,            
no hugs or good night kisses            
no hope for tomorrow            
           
Does anybody know what happened            
to the flowers where you are            
or the will to live not just survive,            
live, die, eat, sex and cry            
           
He'll be leaving soon            
wearing his pride on his chest            
singing his favorite tune            
dressed in his Sunday best!            
           
Yes, he'll be humming his favorite song            
long after he's gone,            
knowing his dream is now reality,            
left behind a life of psychosis banality.
