Boy Afraid

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

Homicidal, unstable
Blink twice if you're able to classify fable

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

Little boy afraid
Slip away, I don't see you in my future
In my-, my-
Boy afraid, it's too late
I don't see you in my future
In my-, my-

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
