Way out in the open
Sits a kid hoping
For something better
Than to be drowning in a sea of hate
Looking for a way to escape
The pain in his heart
That for so long has torn him apart

Sometimes he doesnt even care
If he's breathing in the air
So he floats away to the moon
With his needle and his spoon
Cause life is to much to take
When your not sure whats real and fake
And he tries hard not to lose control
But in the play of life he knows his role
And at night he cries
Cause he's tired of all the lies
Maybe he just needs a hug
But the only thing that'll hold him is a drug

A vision so hazy
Is likely to drive him crazy
He would like to run away
And find a new place to stay
But he knows it would never work
He'll always be the same low life jerk

So he waits for destiny
As time stands still
Slowly killing his will
And all this rejection
Sends him in pursuit of perfection

And he tells himself that someday
He's gonna make the world pay
And show them all the while
Just how hard it is to learn how to smile

But all he really wants is to be a star
To sing and play his guitar
And for everybody to sing along
To his sad little love song
