Lyrics
Run
I always run in my dreams
Son
I'm not the son he needs
Nighttime
With just two wings I could fly away
So high
AND NOW THIS SCREAMING MORNING
IT HITS ME WITHOUT WARNING
I CAN'T RELAX FOR LONG IN HIGHBRIDGE TOWN
Friends
Some monsters I count as my friends
Sad
Sad when they die in the end
Nighttime
With just two wings I could fly away
So far
AND NOW THIS SCREAMING MORNING
IT HITS ME WITHOUT WARNING
I CAN'T RELAX FOR LONG IN HIGHBRIDGE TOWN
My pants, they don't fit, they're too short and I'm feeling fat my ears are too big and my eyes are too small and I'm always getting everything wrong- don't have to tell me but I know that he will, I couldn't tell you why I'm standing here still and I'm marking all the points of egress cause I'm sensing that a mess will ensue if I run
And I will get my ass kicked
Thank you
Safe?
I'm not sure what you mean
Late
Hurry, he'll rupture my spleen
Nighttime
With just two wings I could fly away
So high
AND NOW THIS SCREAMING MORNING
IT HITS ME WITHOUT WARNING
I CAN'T RELAX FOR LONG IN HIGHBRIDGE TOWN
(I'm getting out)
