lyrics

That little kid with the metal in his head
Everybody questions how he isn’t dead
But from that which mortal wounds bled
Comes amazing style from everything he said

Desolation lane, hear the thunder
Standing on the corner is the boy wonder
And though his eyes are filled with light
He drifts as a shadow into the night
With a shattered mirror and a cardboard crown
Walking through the streets of this old town
Yet the one who cares will follow him there
Never leaving his heart feeling bare

Chanting the words of a thousand tears
Standing tall to confront his fears
His joys in life come from simple things
Strumming away with integrity

Desolation lane, hear the thunder
Standing on the corner is the boy wonder
And though his eyes are filled with light
He drifts as a shadow into the night
With a shattered mirror and a cardboard crown
Walking through the streets of this old town
Yet the one who cares will follow him there
Never leaving his heart feeling bare

As the day broke in half, we went our way
But you stopped me and said it won’t go this way
Pull me aside and cry until you fall
Speaking one word perfectly says it all
Within the time that a year has passed
A moment too soon and it’s all too fast
Truly this hour will last for the rest
Promise me this you’ll go do the best

Desolation lane, hear the thunder
Standing on the corner is the boy wonder
And though his eyes are filled with light
He drifts as a shadow into the night
With a shattered mirror and a cardboard crown
Walking through the streets of this old town
Yet the one who cares will follow him there
Never leaving his heart feeling bare

Jump up and shout it out loud
Never forget to show that you’re proud
Living in a slice of suburban hell
Throw your bible into the well
Don't hide yourself behind the lies
Let them see the whites of your eyes
And if you can’t face something alone
I’ll be there when you put down the phone
