lyrics

Soldiers shouted, "Get down on your knees!
Your family name's a disease."
I cried out but no one heard my call
They were the first against the wall

Fleeing from my home
I am broken
Journey to a land of lead
And gold

Pouring the contents of my soul
Through my fingers into these keys
Floating right over the heads of those
That I would kill myself to appease

I am but a simple entertainer
I'd walk through hell just to play you a song
Every note, every phrase, every coda
Reminders of ways in which my life went wrong

Where there stood a boy stands a man
Play these ivory keys with my hands

"So my son, all your life strive to be somebody,
and I know in my heart that you'll be."

Pouring the contents of my soul
Through my fingers into these keys
Floating right over the heads of those
That I would kill myself to appease

I am but a simple entertainer
I'd walk through hell just to play you a song
Every note, every phrase, every coda
Reminders of ways in which my life went wrong

Never look back again
I'll never look back again
