He realized nothing could hurt more
Than ignorance of man
Only will a fool despise
What they don't understand
He saw it now, it was a game
His misery their prize
Their hateful ways had overwhelmed
The boy with emerald eyes
He knew too much about them now,
The human ways were black
For once they set their sights on you
There was no turning back
He'd never win their favor,
Despite how hard he tries
What was the point? Began to ask
The boy with emerald eyes
Perhaps this had been a mistake
He thought with growing fear
Perhaps he'd have been safe in Hell
He did not belong here.
He wasn't meant to be up here
Not meant to see the skies
Meant to live in loneliness
Was the boy with emerald eyes.
The cost of being up on Earth
Was more than he could bear
But he was with the humans
So the pain must have been fair.
He deserved what they had given him
He told himself these lies
If only then to ease the sleep
Of the boy with emerald eyes.
Mistaken and misunderstood
He wants to go back home
Back to the solitude of Hell
Where hatred was unknown
But he will have to live this way
Until the day he dies
A demon did not deserve their love
Knew the boy with emerald eyes.
