Balloon #3 - The Candle Thieves
There were balloons in the sky
When his last night arrived
He was led to the chapel end of his crime
They promised him not too much pain
He begged for them to change
But the judge declared he couldnt be saved
He had no other family
So his legacy would be a space with a number
As sodium cyanide filled the chamber
Dont let go
Of your balloon
Da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
There were balloons in they sky
When he took his own life
There was love but at school
It was unaccepted
For the one he longed to kiss
He cried tears as the fists beat him down
Led him home to finally end it
And as he lay asleep that night
They told him theres no
Bigger word than love I can think of
If there was I would say it
Rewind then replay it
For you my only
The note to his mother read
Im so sorry
Dont let go
Of your balloon
Da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da
Flying it up
Through the trees
Brushing it up against the leaves
Something something seemed to fit
A hundred thousand red balloons he untied
Took off his shoes
And jumped
And jumped
One two three four
Two two three four
Three two three four
Stuff two three
There were balloons in the sky
On the night she survived
As the groups marched through her hometown
They all yelled patriotic
In a confused rhetoric
And they sung for her to go home
But I am just like you
I was born and raised amongst you
So not matter what you put me through
Your love is hate but my love stays true
