Frank's White Canvas – Hector lyrics

There was a fire where Hector was buying his daily amount of nicotine
Raised by his gang he forgot how to think

He was always the last to be released

Grew up in violence ended up in court 
and
I surely watched him drowning on the floor


Tamed by his friends Was he another thief? 

Was he another poet, another one to forget?

All we've left is a solace destiny 

Was he another poet another one to forget?


“Hector was never the one born to be free”

“Hector was only a pawn running”


Tonight they settle arrangements and riddles

Confessions of everlasting love

Blue prints and feathers, commitments to rebel

Against a war lost so long ago

He grew up in violence ended up in court 
and
I surely watched him drowning on his own blood


Tamed by his friends Was he another thief?

Was he another poet, another one to forget?

All we've left is a solace destiny

Was he another poet another one to forget?


“Hector was never the one born to be free”

“Hector was only a pawn running”


Hector was never the one, born to be free
Hector was never the one running for me
Hector was the one in the gutter 
watching his world go by

And all he had was a long loved lie
