Time Machine

You walked alone in worry
With no one by your side
You felt you had to carry
This burden with a smile
(Play along and hide)

You feel them looking at you
They only see your shell
You've spent your days rehearsing
This role you built so well

But listen child don't be afraid
You just gotta hold on cause things will change
Cause I'm 'bout to build you a Time Machine
So you'll be able to lean on me

Believe me I'm gonna build
A Time Machine for you boy
Get your beanie, put your shoes on
Get the teddy bear and the toys

Board the Time Machine
Put your heart and mind at ease
You're safe and sound with me
Keep the monsters out of reach now

We'll look at all the messed up things together
Stuff that made you feel like you don't deserve to win
Not ever
All the things you will go through
Nothing that I wouldn't do
To find a different path for you
(Find a different path for you)

I wish there was a different path for you
Some things that we gotta travel through
I'mma tell the whole world 'bout
My favourite little absent minded dude
Biggest lie ever sold to you
Was that you got to "Soldier" through
Matter how you feel, took it as a sign
Now in you mind
There's something wrong with you

Ain't nobody loud as the devil
He'll tell you lies
Little boy be proud of your freckles
Go ahead and shine
And be you! All you gotta do is see it through
That's what the Time Machine do
How could I ever leave you

I'll walk this road beside you
It will be dark and cold
And when we meet the monsters
We'll just send them home

So listen child don't be afraid
You just gotta hold on cause things will change
Cause I'm 'bout to build you a Time Machine
So you'll be able to lean on me

Lean on me
I'm bout to build a Time Machine
And bring you home with me

Don't worry child don't be afraid
We just gotta hold on cuz things will change
