Real Boy

Real Boy (Original Mix)
The original version of Real Boy, initially released as a single. It was later included on the Five Nights at Freddy's album Nightmares. It opens with a somber piano, with auto-tuned vocals soon joining. This mix is noticeably louder than it's Hurt counterpart. Groundbreaking has stated that this song began as a fully original piece, but he soon found that the lyrics could be applied to the Balloon Boy character with minor edits, so he went with it.

Real Boy (Hurt Mix)
Real Boy was reworked and remastered for it's spot as the fifth track on Hurt. The vocals are less auto-tuned, and the overall mix is quieter. It retains it's original structure. It has a small atmospheric pad added to the end that transitions to the next track. All my robot dreams

I'm holding by this string

I'm stuck as I sit and watch

All the others

I'm not quite like them 

I have no heart or brain and

If had a chance to be like them

Just for a day

What I'd give to be a real boy

I would trade this soul away

And I will deal with all the bullies

All the schoolwork

If I could just have a single day

And I'll make my parents mad

And I'll cry when I get sad

But in the end I'll be a happy kid

If I had a chance to be a real boy

My painted metal parts

You can tell they probably 

Don't get me that far

I really wish I could run away

From this place

I've seen some scary things

I've also been them too

But if I had a choice 

I would try not to scare you 

What I'd give to be a real boy

I would trade this soul away

And I will deal with all the bullies

All the schoolwork

If I could just have a single day

And I'll make my parents mad

And I'll cry when I get sad

But in the end I'll be a happy kid

If I had a chance to be a real boy

If I could leave this place behind

I would do it in a heartbeat

With no second thoughts 

But like I said before

I have no heart that beats

And I have no brains with thoughts

I'm here to stay it seems

What I'd give to be a real boy

I would trade this soul away

And I will deal with all the bullies

All the schoolwork

If I could just have a single day

And I'll make my parents mad

And I'll cry when I get sad

But in the end I'll be a happy kid

If I had a chance to be a real boy
