From the recording Chapter One
Lyrics
Manny comes home
He pulls the shades down and sits in a corner
A sign on the wall, today is the day
He goes without looking back
He goes without looking back
See the fire in his eyes, they'll soon realize
There's a war going round in his head
How'd your day go in school, did you put on a show
They missed all the warnings
He's made up his mind, today is the day
He goes without looking back
He goes without looking back
Be silent be still, he's in for the kill
Should have listened to what Manny said
There comes a time when we have to face our own demons
A full one on one with the head
A wish upon a star, do we know who we are
We fail to remember the dead
With no one to blame, He must be insane
Should've listened to what Manny said
You better leave him alone Put some fuel on the fire
You'd better turn, you better run, If nothing is what you desire
You better learn to walk away, Ooh it's just a matter of time
Cause there will be a better day, some you'll win some you'll choose
The doctors, the lawyers, the fables been told
Couldn't make the promise today
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Manny away
There comes a time when we have to face our own demons
A full one on one with the head
A wish upon a star, do we know who we are?
Do we fail to remember the dead
Manny's gone home, Manny's gone home
Manny's gone home, Manny's gone home
