Prototype Boy Lyrics by Broadway Karkat

0

[Verse 1]
The power of innocence
Is such a simple power indeed
Yet it can't still obscure everything
Casting the world into shadow
Wanting to reach the light
Is not so simple
Hidden so far beyond your grasp
As you try to touch it
[Pre-Chorus]
Raising your hand so high (raising your hand so high)
Paralyzed in the sky (paralyzed in the sky)
But you are crouching low (but you are crouching low)
As if you've fallen down
[Chorus]
Prototype boy, you only live on for tomorrow
Yours shall not become the tale
That's passed onto the next generation
But you'll find your solace
At the brink of this hell
And it suits you ever so much
An irony that's tragically part of you
[Verse 2]
Insidious silence
Has served to herald every mistake
And the rift that exists in this world
Tears from the force of your guidance
The gaze that is judging you
Will show no mercy
Even as you are trembling
From all the guilt that's inside you
[Pre-Chorus]
It will not even see (it will not even see)
Blatant hypocrisy (blatant hypocrisy)
Know that may be why you (know that may be why you)
Have made the choice to fight
[Chorus]
Prototype boy, your heart is no longer within you
Stolen by this pride that you have
This restlessness that always is growing
Wreckage is surrounding
Things that once were living
And even your alternate self
Your hidden soul is starting to see the truth
And even so (and even so)
I shelter you (I shelter you)
[Bridge]
The clashing of all these feelings inside
Is ceaseless, and so you are starting to waver
All the things you once believed have been decaying
And you start to doubt
[?] as the flawed and uncertain prototypes
And what counts is you
So your life should carry on
In the end you're starting to fade
You're starting to fade
[Chorus]
Prototype boy, you only live on for tomorrow
Yours shall not become the tale
That's passed onto the next generation
But you'll find your solace
At the brink of this hell
And it suits you ever so much
An irony that's tragically part of you
Prototype boy, your heart is no longer within you
Stolen by this pride that you have
This restlessness that always is growing
Wreckage is surrounding
Things that once were living
And even your alternate self
Your hidden soul is starting to see the truth
[Outro]
And even so (and even so)
I shelter you (i shelter you)
