Afraid - rei brown

Mother, leave me with my thoughts I want to be alone In blackness, I am home I know the truth There's a man in my closet He whispers a sad song His motives are dead wrong He's just like you Ooh, ooh, ooh, pitiful, pitiful, how you're stuck in your way, yeah Ooh, ooh, ooh, pitiful, pitiful, fear falls over your face Little boy afraid Slip away, I don't see you in my future In my- Boy afraid, it's too late I don't see you in my future In my- Homicidal, unstable Blink twice if you're able to classify fable From poignant truth All the satellites watching Disposing of bodies of water you wash me I'm dripping clues Ooh, ooh, ooh, pitiful, pitiful, how you're stuck in your way, way Little boy afraid Slip away, I don't see you in my future In my- Boy afraid, it's too late I don't see you in my future In my- Walk the plank and show me the part I'm rooting for the underground Do you come to explain how you've betrayed Why you've betrayed?

We were good when we were young That's when we had our fun On the town striking fear Let em know the gang is here Could have stopped the bleeding wound Elephant in the room Bury it deep inside Let me find a place to hide From the boom the collapsing machine Let the shrapnel put you in the tomb Of the dwindling dream Every time I reached out you would call my name Someone new to blame It was looking bad from the start But we took our chance and let it get away Somehow woke from the deep Coma and whisky sleep I've been out a year or two That's what giving in will do Could have said what's on my mind As if I had a spine Bury it deep inside Let me find a place to hide From the boom the collapsing machine Let the shrapnel put you in the tomb Of the dwindling dream Every time I reached out you would call my name Someone new to blame It was looking bad from the start But we took our chance and let it get away

We take a drive just to sing along Every word of them Rolling Stones Stacey's mom had it goin' on Lived three doors down, I can see her now Her daughter had a heart that was wild and free If you Blink-182, then you'd miss me and her Every verse had a story Yeah, them pocket lighter nights lit up our days of glory Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Nothin' like freedom two windows down You singin' along, still hear it now Way too loud and sometimes off key But you sounded like an angel to me You'd make fun of how I threw my head And threw my fingers up in the air Thought I was Kurt Cobain or Jimmy Page You were at side seat, center stage Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town And that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars Back when we were rockstars We never ended up on MTV Or heard our voices on a CD But in your eyes and in my arms We were each other's rockstars Back when the air guitars were the only sound And you'd strum the chords and I'd put the pedal down Two-man dashboard band rollin' through this town Had that rearview shakin' to the kick-drum beat Leeanin' West Coast deep in the bucket seats All I ever wanted was right there in that car Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Yeah, back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) Back when we were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) You and me were rockstars (We're running all night, chasing down a dream) (Howling at the moon, baby, you and me) oh yeah (Running all night, chasing down a dream) Yeah, we were runnin' all night, chasing down a dream Howlin' at the moon, baby, you and me
