The Candle Thieves - Balloon #3 Lyrics
There were balloons in the skyWhen his last night arrived,He was led to the chaplain of his crime.They promised him not too much pain,He begged for them to change,But the judge declared he couldn’t be saved.He had no other familySo his legacy would be a space with a numberAs sodium cyanide filled the chamber.Don’t let goOf your balloon.Da da da da daDa da da daDa da da daThere were balloons in they skyWhen he took his own life,There was love but at schoolIt was unaccepted.For the one he longed to kissHe cried tears as the fists beat him down,Led him home to finally end it.And as he lay asleep that nightThey told him there’s noBigger word than love I can think of.If there was, I would say it,Rewind, then replay itFor you, my only.The note to his mother read,“I’m so sorry.”Don’t let goOf your balloon.Da da da da daDa da da daDa da da daFlying it upThrough the trees,Brushing it up against the leaves,Something, something seemed to fit.A hundred thousand red balloons he untied,Took off his shoes,And jumped.And jumped.One two three fourTwo two three fourThree two three fourStuff two threeThere were balloons in the skyOn the night she survivedAs the groups marched through her hometown.They all yelled patriotic,In a confused rhetoric,And they sung for her to go home.But I am just like you,I was born and raised amongst you,So not matter what you put me through,Your love is hate but my love stays true.Da da da da daDa da da daDa da da da
