Green Carnation The Boy In The Attic Lyrics

The Boy In The Attic Lyrics

A blessing from below, born a sweet child like foretold 

Could it the boy
that I used to be 

Oh, father please forgive me if I`ve done you wrong


For how long will you let me suffer all alone 



Father!
Please!



A father`s touch, a beating one too much 



Hiding in the closet waiting for him to sleep 

What others saw of me,
was what dad wanted them to see 



Father! Please! 



I
want to taste the free, like nothing ever used to be 

I want to taste
what is mine 

Am I evil, could it be, that I am the one they fear 

Look at me, I am the sweetest one you`ll ever see 



I made it
through the old into a brand new life 

No more hiding in the closet,
waiting for him to sleep 



Into the shadows of old 

Strange
memories of time gone 



I was never rightfully yours 

Storys
like mine, that were never told 

Out of the window feeling free 

That is how I killed me...
