Let the Boy break

[short intro] [Verse 1] His heart-beat pounds, it never slows, his stomach aches, his eyes just close. A hate runs deep, it never dies, each day it drags, each hope denied. The heavy weight burns into his skin, he prays to God, soul left unclean They kick him down when no one sees, he swallows pain, his father beats. (Let him break—!!!) (Let him break—!!!) (Let him break—!!!) [Verse 2] Strips him bare of dignity, inside he’s empty, can’t even breathe. Schoolyard boots, they stomp his chest, he hits the ground, another test Blood runs fast, the warmth feels strange, their laughter cuts, like they're deranged Teachers preach: (- “This life is hard.”) But none have shown him how to guard. --- [Pre-Hook] He doesn’t speak. He doesn’t fight. The demons grow. They burn inside. --- [Hook] LET THE BOY BREAK — like he could choose – in blood-stained shoes. – with nothing to lose. LET THE BOY CRY – with eyes half-closed. — red rivers flow – where no one knows. Let the boy cry... (Cry—) Let the boy break!!! (Break—) Let the boy cry... Let the boy break!!! (Break—) --- [Verse 3] He floods the curtains, tears run wild, then seals them shut, he seals his mind. The daylight hits, it throws him back, but all he sees is painted black. The dead hush cuts, it stabs like knives, he gulps it down, he doesn't wanna cry. When light returns, he falls again, draws the blinds, he just gives in. (Let him break—!!!) (Let him break—!!!) (Let him break—!!!) [Verse 4] His body shivers with rage and fear, too small, too weak, not worth to hear. No scream can split reality, he’s trapped inside, he cannot flee. The door flies wide – he knows what's next, hides his face, each strike connects, still he’s numb, no emotions shown – he feels the hit, but not the wound. ("You’re worth of nothing, just a waste – cry like a girl, you’ll pay that way!”) --- [Hook] LET THE BOY BREAK – through double glass. — pushed through this mess – and let it pass. LET THE BOY CRY – don’t raise his chin. — let the sickness win – don’t pull him in. Let the boy cry... (Cry—) Let the boy break!!! (Break—) Let the boy break!!! --- [Bridge] Only broken ties. No reason why. He didn’t scream. He didn’t kneel. And nothing... nothing had to heal! --- [Verse 5] His mother waits, she stays in place, she hears the snap, covers her face. The belt is gone, the pants still lie, she wants to run, she prays to die. But lets the father draw the line, protects herself, but not the child. She never dares to make it right, her words would only sound like lies. (Let him break—!!!) (Let him break—!!!) (Let him break—!!!) [Verse 6] With every hit, her body shakes, her chest is tight, her spirit breaks. But out of sight is out of mind He grabs his beer and says it's fine. Then threads the belt back through its loop, Sits down as if it’s more than truth. he tells: “The boy just needs direction.” She nods in silence, she simply lets him. ("He’ll grow up strong, that’s how it goes – a man built up from dirt and blows.”) --- [Pre-Hook] He doesn’t speak. He lets it happen. The demons grow. They are his only weapon. (only weapon) --- [Final Hook] LET THE BOY BREAK — like he could choose – in blood-stained shoes. – with nothing to lose. LET THE BOY CRY – with eyes half-closed. — red rivers flow – where no one knows. Let the boy cry... (Cry—) Let the boy break!!! (Break—) Let the boy break!!! Let him break... (Let him break—!!!) (Let him break—!!!) [Outro] (Let him break—!!!)
