Clay boy

(Verse 1)

I found you broken, standing in the rain

Your fragile hands were shaking in the pain

A boy of silence, carved from fragile clay

I tried to hold you, but you slipped away

(Pre-Chorus)

And every touch, it cracks your skin

I see the storm you’re drowning in

You’re so soft, but the world’s too hard

You’re a fragile heart…

(Chorus)

Menino de barro, falling apart in my arms

I try to keep you, but I can’t stop the scars

Your body trembles, like it’s made out of glass

Menino de barro, how long will you last?

(Verse 2)

Your eyes are oceans, heavy with the night

You whisper secrets you can’t hold inside

I kiss your lips, they taste of fear and dust

A fleeting moment, a love that turns to rust

(Pre-Chorus)

And when you breathe, it feels so slow

Like any second you could go

You’re so soft, but the world’s too hard

You’re a fragile heart…

(Chorus)

Menino de barro, falling apart in my arms

I try to keep you, but I can’t stop the scars

Your body trembles, like it’s made out of glass

Menino de barro, how long will you last?

(Bridge)

If I could paint you stronger

If I could keep you whole

But the cracks get deeper,

And they swallow your soul…

(Chorus – Final)

Menino de barro, fading away in my arms

I tried to love you, but I can’t heal the scars

Your body trembles, your silence won’t pass

Menino de barro… you were never built to last.

(Outro – whispered)

Menino de barro…

I hold the pieces of you…

In my hands.
