I'm like a cat in a cage, Locked up and battered and bruised. I am the protigal son, A single protigy too. I am the love of your life, ? Well and confused. I turn each day into night, I stand there waiting for you. There is desire to fight, But I have nothing to prove. With the crowd and some lights, You start to feel things move. Do you have something to hide, Cuz I've been? I am the child inside, Back up and give me some room. I'm just a bastard child, Don't let it go to your head. I'm just a waste of your time, Maybe I'm better off dead. You turn this? into night, I'm fuckin' jekyll and hyde. We'll have the times of our lives, Although we're dying inside. So let me go, go. So let me go, go. Just let me go, go. I'd rather go it alone. So let me go, go. So let me go, go. Just let me go, go, I'm never comin' home. Don't start to panic for me, Cuz I have nothing to lose. I am as bright as the sun, I burn up all that I choose. And from the side of a field, I see a city with lights. I touch her face when I kneel, She tells me she's not alive I am too nervous to run, The kids who scatter and hide To reach and grab onto someone, But end up buried alive. A world is waiting for me, A world that I rarely knew. I start to feel in my feet, They kick down walls as they move. I'm just a bastard child, Don't let it go to your head I'm just a waste of your time, Maybe I'm better off dead They turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde We'll have the time of our lives Although we're dying inside So let me go, go So let me go, go Just let me go, go I'd rather go it alone So let me go, go So let me go, go Just let me go, go I'm never coming home I'm just a bastard child, Don't let it go to your head I'm just a waste of your time, Maybe I'm better off dead They turn us loose in the night, I'm fucking Jekyll and Hyde We'll have the time of our lives Although we're dying inside So let me go, go So let me go, go Just let me go, go I'd rather go it alone So let me go, go So let me go, go Just let me go, go I'm never coming home

The desk where you sit inside of a frame Made of, made of, of wood I keep those chopsticks you had from when you Taught abroad, taught abroad in Japan I love it all so much I call, I want you back Back, back You back, ah I did not know you as well as my Father, father knew you Every question you took the time to sit and Look it up, look it up in the encyclopedia I love it all so much I call, I want you back Back, back You back I love it all so much I call, I want you back Back, back You back, da-da-da It sounds like we would have had a great deal To say, to say to each other I bet when I leave my body for the sky The wait, the wait will be worth it I love it all so much I call, I want you back Back, back You back I love it all so much I call, I want you back Back, back You back, da-da-da

Do you feel like a shit turning up sometimes? Just pierce through the jungle of your mind Do you feel like a shit turning up sometimes? Just pierce through the jungle of your mind Stay, I'll make sure you're safe I don't wanna change I love you this way And I love you right now Heard they're still playing songs on the radio Your kids won't know what the thing was for Stay, I'll make sure you're safe The masters won't change And I love you this way And we're all masters now Are you afraid to call yourself a feminist? All the losers complaining, "I don't have time for this" Safe, your common mistake won't make you feel safe The masters won't change And we're all masters now

Is it ever really no one's fault? The history is cloudy, memories I'm doubting And I'm remembering the curtain call Holding your ground underneath the waterfall Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm And I blame it on myself Blame it on myself Oh-oh-ooh You never needed my help, but never asked why Oh, why? Blame it on myself, blame it on myself Oh-oh-ooh You never needed my help, but never asked why You stumbled in as it was winding down I didn't think you'd make it out this way, we're just- Empty mansions on a road in shores Falling down so slowly, no one notices at all Oh-oh-oh-oh, mm And I blame it on myself Blame it on myself Oh-oh-ooh You never needed my help, but never asked why Oh, why? Blame it on myself, blame it on myself Oh-oh-ooh You never needed my help, but never asked why And I blame it on myself Blame it on myself Oh-oh-ooh You never needed my help, but never asked why Oh, why? Blame it on myself, blame it on myself Oh-oh-ooh You never needed my help, but never asked why
