Today I'm a young boy
A torn man tomorrow
I didn't see the real enemy
I whispered my questions
And made up the answers
I failed the test at 14 years old
And now I'm a coward
A thief and a liar
You spoke loud and straight to my face
You brought up my father
Cause I'm just like my mother
And those words pierced straight through my heart
Go and get some rest now
See you in the morrow
Go and get some rest now
It's been six long years
Of holding back truth
But the truth spins me round and round
Like a spinning top
Till I fall down
Today I'm a scarecrow
A lion tomorrow
Tell me why I was blind to see
I forgot the questions
While you cried out the answers
And I'll never forget your face
As you told me the reason
The price for the demons
That conspired and killed him in vain
I bring up my father
Cause I'm not like my mother
I'm so proud to have had a dad
Go and get some rest now
See you in the morrow
Go and get some rest now
It's been six long years
Of holding back truth
But the truth spins me round and round
Like a spinning top
And it makes me sick
