lyrics

There once was a boy, he lived in such peril
There once was a soul who's body was lost
They asked that the boy, share them his vessel
He agreed, unknown of the cost, unknown of the cost

Oh so it was (that) they'd share their words
espoused to the body they were
So little price they pay, to stay encaged
by the growing concordance each day

Oh so it was that the two, held their word true:
'till death do they bid adieu
Oh but how long will it last, anxiously asked
by the soul to their direful past

The boy was caught by time
And soon was cast away
The soul was spared with a second chance
But loss is a shackle that weighs

Two souls for one, and a body for two
Guess right now it'll make do
The boy and the soul, can laugh and feel whole
But laughing can end too soon

"Where did he go?"
Pondered the soul
To them without the boy it is cold
Oh the boy was gone
Sent to the grave
And there the soul lay for countless days

Two souls for one, and a body for two
Guess right now it'll make do
The boy and the soul, can laugh and feel whole
But laughing can end too soon

The soul was caught by despair
And bound themself to the grave
The boy was gone and they couldn't move on
No, loss is a shackle that weighs

Two souls for one, and a body for two
The boy didn't make it through
The boy and the soul, how morbidly cold
The lost soul and the grief that had grew

There once was a soul who learned grief for the first time
There once was a soul who would endlessly cry
There once was a boy who had known them for long
Then they said their goodbyes

Two souls for one, and a body for two

The boy and the soul, can laugh and feel whole
