Max Says

Max says everybody's angry

Max says he'll never leave his home

Max says that heaven's another place

It's there his grandparents have gone

Max has ten years on this birthday

A year ago this world had made him cry

Max sees his world through the brightness

Eyes to learn hope to glow in the dark

And he will aim toward the sky

Deep blue

The silver lined white clouds divide

Max says everybody's nasty

Says they start too many fights

Max wrote a letter to god today

His god could never tell lies

Max says he's always been faithful

He prays for them

Max bets they all will be saved

And he will aim toward the sky

Deep blue

The silver lined white clouds so divine

But max won't get what he asked for

Not here

Not now

In the end we will leave him a pile

Mountains of anguish assured for his climb

And max inherits his birthright

Inbred

Inborn
