Afraid - The Neighbourhood

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

If things were different, we were young Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember Back in 1991, when the story first begun, I remember All of these shells, holding the things I've done I knew myself before I knew anyone And 'cause we all chew gum We all have fun with water guns La da da da da da Da da dum dum dum And we all grew up, shit got tough Shit just wasn't simple enough, no And whenever the sun came out, we played (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older) We would run on the block all night and day (We didn't want to get older) What a mistake, saying the way I felt I'd say my main influences myself And 'cause I started young I learned it done, I didn't run La da da da da da I was scared as fuck and out of touch And I was still testing my luck, oh And whenever the sun came out, we played (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older) We would run on the block all night and day (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older) And whenever the sun came out, we played (We didn't want to get older, we didn't want to get older) I left myself in the alleyway If things were different, we were young Skinny dipping, having fun, I remember (I left myself in the alleyway) All I wanted would become everything I ever loved, I remember (I left myself in the alleyway)
