this boy

stop the song

I like to hide around the corner, to make it easy
He guesses left, and guesses wrong
I try to make it through these dreams I've never seen
don't let them be too long

And when I wake up it'll all be done
This boy's a monster till the rising sun
I'd walk away if I could only run


The world around me doesn't seem to make it easy
but vengeance is mine, or so it goes
I've got the jump, believe me
they can never see me when my eyes are closed


And when I wake up it'll all be done
This boy's a bomber for the Rising Sun
I'm in the barrel of a loaded gun

Another kamikaze mission in the night
School renovation till the morning light
Then break away to make another flight


Welcome to the hole in your mind, this is your situation
Must you act so obstinately?
You never compliment your sister or thank your teachers
for letting you see what they want you to see

Lesson number one: Grow up, stop having fun
You're nowhere near it now, I think you'll agree
You never emulate your brother or thank your parents
for letting you be what they want you to be

Remorsefully awake, I'll take responsibility
I might even shed a tear
But no concealing
this funny feeling
that they're all still here


And when I wake up it'll all be done
This boy's somebody till the rising sun
I'd walk away, but I can only run

I give another day to get another night
No hesitation when the king is right
Can't walk away, but then again I might
Sleep tight...
