There's a man boarding up the wishing well. Singing, wish your dreams a good farewell. He bares his teeth and then he disappears.
And you have no more coins to toss. On plans you make that end up lost. You'll try in vain to make them reappear.
There's a girl nursing one more broken jaw. Singing, is this what you're looking for?
But you just share a smile and turn away.
But before you lose your tiger eyes.
And walk a road that you despise.
I have the words that no one else will say.
Before you walk...
On this twisted road of many broken dreams.
Take a look...
At this wasteland full of broken time machines.
Don't step back, your on the frontline. They'll steal your time but not your sunshine.
Your grandma's nursing shaky bones. In an empty body that she once owned.
You're warming up her fingers on your skin
Your dad he's drinking day and night. He waits for you to pick a fight.
You pour away your troubles with his gin.
There's a guy who always drives you home. In a beat up car he sprayed with chrome.
He's not your ideal type of fairytale.
But before you lose your sturdy spine. And walk across a jagged line.
Hear the truth that I have to unveil.
Before you walk...
Down this broken road of apathy.
Take a look...
At the tired fallen cavalry.
Don't step back, you're on the frontline.
They'll steal your time.
But not your sunshine.
