Howard's Tale lyrics
Age 5, just a little boy shy
Is he ready for the big surprise He'll be playing lego in a dream When the shadows come to life Age 9 and he should've been fine With a secret he's sure to keep Two times had to tell a little lie For the sake of him and me Now it's over I need closure Hey, look what you did to me When you were taking me home Getting me stoned Leave me alone I waited for mom to comfort me But when I opened my mouth Don't say nothing, shhh Age 12 and it isn't going well Now it's 3 years to the day Confused, but unlike you This feeling won't go away 16 and the woman down the street Has invited him to come inside The first time, it didn't feel right It'll be the last time he tries Hey, look what you did to me When you were taking me home Getting me stoned Leave me alone I waited for mom to comfort me But when I opened my mouth Don't say nothings wrong I won't say nothings wrong I won't say, I won't say I won't say, I won't say I won't say, I won't say 17, all he's ever seen Is the living in between the lies It's kind of funny how a mind Can keep living in denial 18 is a very strange scene He's still playing with the past Expelled, maybe someone could've helped If someone had known to ask Hey, look what you did to me When you were taking me home Getting me stoned Leave me alone I waited for mom to comfort me But when I opened my mouth Don't say nothing, shhh 19 and he's innocently Parked right beside a school He stares at a boy sitting there And the boy stares at him too He walks over He needs closure
