Howard's Tale Lyrics

Age five just a little boy shy is he ready for the big surprise
Hell be playin lego in a dream when the shadows come to life
Age nine well he shoulda been fine with a secret hes sure to keep
Two times had to tell a little lie for the sake of him and me
Now its over
I need closure

HEY! look what you did to me
When you where takin me home gettin me stoned leave me alone
Ive waited for mom to comfort me
But when i open my mouth
Dont say, nuthin, shhh

Age 12 and it isnt goin well
Now its three years to the day
Confused but unlike you this feelin wont go away
16 and the woman down the street
Has invited him to come inside First time it didnt feel right
itll be the last time he tries

Chorus-end, nothings wrong
I wont say nuthings wrong.
I wont say i wont say
I wont say i wont say
I wont say i wont sayyy

17 and all hes ever seen is a limit in between a lie
Its kinda funny how a mind can keep living in denial
18 is a very strange seen, and hes still playin with the past
Expelled maybe someone coulda helped if someone had known to ask

[Chorus]

19 and hes innocently parked right beside a school
He stares at a boy sittin there and the boy stares at him to
He walks over
He needs closure
