about

First track for Three Sides of a Tragedy III, where the story is told from the perspective of a killer

lyrics

She loves him
And She wants him
Will do whatever it takes
To make him stay

He sees her
And he feels her
He treats her well
And leaves her after he gets laid

He was not supposed to go
Why did he leave her
Specially after having his kid

They’re on their own
Mother and son

Goes now through life
Holding hands
With her beautiful boy

She’s cleaning
She’s sweeping
She gives it all it takes
To keep a home

She’s hungry
She does their laundry
While they don’t give a fuck
And barely pay her for her job

And the money’s not enough
How will she feed him
Now she’s beginning to steal

She knows it is wrong
But she's got a son
Then she gets caught
Has to find herself another job

Is this what I ‘ve got?
For breaking my back working hard to take care of my kid

Is this what I got?
For trying to do the best I can inside this misery

Yeah, this is what I got
I sell my body cheap which suffers pain and much distress

I need to change all this
I need to find another way of bringing home all that we need

She wakes up
Puts on some makeup
Goes down a thousand stairs
To get paid

They see her
They tease her
They feel her well
And pay her after they get laid

And it's a humiliating road
And some of them hurt her
She's lucky to get back in one piece

Climbs up the hill
Until she's home

Tries to draw a smile
Gives him a kiss
And will do all over again

about

Man from the Box Gothenburg, Sweden

If you lived in Caracas in the late 90’s it is possible you heard his music when visiting the underground music scene, under a different name that is. A slow, dark and sometimes hard type of rock.
Moving through classic and progressive rock. Strange music, not everyone's cup of tea, but with a growing audience.
After a long 20 years retirement from music, he came back as Man from the Box.
