Tin Man

I watch him sleeping
Breathing in, breathing out 
I place my hand on his chest
I try to feel for a heartbeat
As I lay down to rest

Ba-Boom Ba-Boom, How funny!
I feel the vibrations Under my fingers
Its telling me he has a heart
Oh how decieving is this moment
I feel my smile fall apart

I want to knock on this Tin Mans brain
And ask him, "is anybody in there?"
Because ive been here for five years
And it feels like you don't care?

Do you see me cleaning, cooking?
Taking care of our kids, Helping with bills?
How can you sometimes be so empty?
Laying there so silent and still

Short are the burst he has
When he is able to show me, he loves me
I fall into these moments, clinging and cleaving
Trying to grip onto his rough edges
But his shield has already beat me

Open up yourself to me Tin Man!
I promise I won't hurt you
If you give me all you have
I will still do the best that I always do. 

Shadows of his past flickers in his eyes
Poor man would have been different
If fate had not stolen all his light
For this fallen knight, I will have to fight

He can hide his heart
But one day I will find it
I will lead him to our castle
Sit him down on our thrown
There we will rule these lands as equals
Raising our children better then our shadows.
