I was born the orphan scorned And raised to be some king This throne I've known I've wished on no one A fool's crown I've reigned I claimed the world To lose my soul Empty so it seems A thousand ways to lose my tomorrows Hanging from the headlines' screams Hey mama, hey mama Tell me why'd you make me Hey mama, hey mama Oh tell me why I'm the lost boy Can you help me? Where is this love to save me Come set me free I'm the lost boy Can you help me? There's a son belongs to no one Mama, it's me! Is it just the peace I seek? The truths between your lies Hey mama, can you read me From behind my crimson eyes If there's a note that I last wrote For all the world to see Dead noses smell no roses Hanging from my crimson strings Hey mama, hey mama Tell me why'd you make me Hey mama, hey mama Oh tell me why! I'm the lost boy Can you help me? Where is this love to save me Come set me free I'm the lost boy Can you help me? There's a son belongs to no one Mama, it's me!
