Wax Man

His hatred here to stay Their feelings float away That man was cast in stone He'll be here long after we're dead and gone Chewing on his 7th sin Understand? He can't begin To feel the error in his ways So he sits and numbers the days Where is the sunshine when the martyr falls You kept it all behind the glass wall So he falls from paradise again To play God with little children My babel tower to rise Steal the breath and smear the skies Push it all out, try to pretend But you can't change anything in the end My hatred here to stay Your feelings float away Wave around a loaded gun Temper, temper little one Where is the sunshine when a the martyr falls You kept it all behind the glass wall So he falls from paradise again To play God with little children When my heart cried out in agony No one held me and said never again Slouching in my throne with devils in my head Homeless, friendless, now powerful instead I'd prefer not to confess My mind is in distress Where is the sunshine when a child falls You kept it all behind the glass wall So he falls from heaven into you To play God wthis king, this fool
