The Boy in the Well part 1

Here in this water, all settled and soaking
I kick my legs, and with my hands holding
A long worn out rope, hanging from the light high above

And I speak out loud, and I hear someone talking
Back to me, they just keep repeating
"How are you feeling?"

Chorus:
Boy: "I'm shivering from cold, I want my family"
Boy: "They're too far, they're too far away from me"
Voice: "Don't give up hope child, these walls will not hold you for long"

Beneath me, a bucket, old wood and rotten
And I've never touched foot on the bottom
Of this well, I can't remember when I fell

I fear the monsters of night, the end of the day
When the bright holy light falls from grace
And I must keep kicking my tired legs

Chorus:
Boy: "Where are you voice? Won't you please talk to me!"
Boy: "I'm just a boy, fearful and lonely"
Voice: "I was never a child, I don't know what you're feeling"

Bridge:
In the night I hear carols, soft songs of beauty
White ashy flakes, so cold they fall onto me
And the water it hardens, and I can't stop shaking
And my lips are blue, like my mothers favorite flower
I scream to the air "Voice am I dying?"

Chorus:
Voice: "Well you are just a boy, fearful and lonely"
Voice: "I hope you aren't frustrated with me"
Voice: "Because I'm just a voice, because we are what we choose to be"
Voice: "One day, you'll have the oppurtunity"
Voice: "To be what you want, but I know what it will bring"
Boy: "How do you know all of these things? How do you know, everything!?"
Boy: "I can't believe in such a foolish thought, you're only an echo in this hell made of ice water"

Voice: "Just wait for spring"
