Past regrets and future fears

Turns a boy to a man sooner than planned

All the same, the boy remains even though he's free,

He can't fly with these heavy chains

Saw your mother yesterday and she had these words to say

Singin' like a judgement day

I think he should've known better

I think he should've known better

I'd rather have holes in my eyes

I'd rather have holes in my eyes

Than to watch your soul paralyzed...goodbye

Your shinin' son no longer glows

Through the goodbye windows

Through the goodbye windows...

Thirstly from the start, very soon you learned the part

Of the redeemer, what a dreamer

So you're waitin' on the call

Pretty soon you know it all, holy mountains fall

And he says... One might make you lazy

2 might make you crawl

3 might make you crazy

And 4 ends it's all

I'd rather have holes in my eyes

I'd rather have holes in my eyes

Than to watch your soul paralyzed...goodbye

Your shinin' son no longer glows

Through the goodbye windows

Through the goodbye windows...

Should've know better
