In this one, you'll hear the first verse, and a weird double bridge thing that doesn't flow together yet (but was there as a placeholder). Then, the last part is the just the rhythm section of the chorus... I haven't put the melody parts over it or anything, so it doesn't really sound like a chorus yet... But it will... Oh yes... it will... :-)

LYRICS

We gave him life

so smooth & innocent (incoherent)

from miles above

we wrapped him in love

 

took him to school

our 5 year old man

he started to cry

we said our goodbyes to love

 

a million times, no

he never listened

ignored every word

but i think he heard

 

We watched him grow a little colder each day

Our soul possession just drifted away

went out and made himself something to see

how could he do this to me?

 

NO MORE family fun day

Our prize has been taken away (way)

NO MORE family fun day

NO MORE FAMILY FUN

for me

 

He's much older now

& so intelligent (incoherent)

we saved & saved

He made us slaves to love

 

a million times, no

he never listened

ignored every word

but i think he heard

 

[instrumental interlude, breakdowns, etc. Chorus and verse vocals overlapped along with "for me," repeating to end]

And that's that. I think the lyrics on this one are kinda lame at first glance, but i was kinda goin' for an "Everything's Ruined" sort of vibe... All about the selfishness and egocentrism of parents, how easy it is to fuck up a kid, and how -- in the end -- the blind path leads to the loss of everything you really wanted in the first place...
