Eight years old and he’s kicking and screaming |
| [00:05.54] |
“I’ll only go to school if you give me a reason |
| [00:08.51] |
The kids are really mean and I already know all the things they’re teaching” |
| [00:14.16] |
Hopped in the car mama let him play hookey |
| [00:17.06] |
Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee |
| [00:19.70] |
She’s the only one who saw who he was, no one else could read him |
| [00:25.53] |
Showing up late but he makes it to class |
| [00:28.13] |
Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back |
| [00:31.11] |
He daydreamed away to a sky so gray |
| [00:33.99] |
Everything’s simple, it’s driving him mental |
| [00:36.87] |
Wishing every day that something would change |
| [00:39.60] |
Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay |
| [00:42.39] |
And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes saying |
| [00:44.94] |
“Son it’s all your fault, how come you never try?” |
| [00:49.37] |
He does all that he should |
| [00:50.84] |
Why is he misunderstood? |
| [00:53.43] |
This is a story bout a broken boy |
| [00:55.94] |
With his headphones in just to block out the noise |
| [00:59.37] |
Of everyone around him telling him the way to go |
| [01:03.24] |
So he walks the world alone |
| [01:05.76] |
Wondering if it gets better |
| [01:07.80] |
Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever |
| [01:10.69] |
So he gets lost tryna find another way back home |
| [01:14.84] |
As he walks the world alone |
| [01:19.12] |
Fifteen years and he’s drowning his sorrows |
| [01:21.86] |
Smoking ****, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle |
| [01:24.52] |
With a bunch of fake friends cuz he tried to fit in but it wasn’t working |
| [01:30.44] |
Ran in with the law bout a dozen of times |
| [01:33.25] |
Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes still |
| [01:35.86] |
He says to himself, “What are you doing you don’t deserve this |
| [01:41.78] |
Don’t you know nobody will ever understand |
| [01:44.51] |
The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand |
| [01:47.40] |
Get your **** together and lose the weight |
| [01:49.87] |
You’ll never be what you want, no not with that face” |
| [01:53.03] |
He started writing all of his thoughts on paper |
| [01:55.85] |
Realized music made life so much greater |
| [01:58.59] |
100 pounds down, he looks so different now |
| [02:01.41] |
As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown |
| [02:05.38] |
He does all that he should |
| [02:07.09] |
Why is he misunderstood? |
| [02:09.97] |
This is a story bout a broken boy |
| [02:12.36] |
With his headphones in just to block out the noise |
| [02:15.58] |
Of everyone around him telling him the way to go |
| [02:19.78] |
So he walks the world alone |
| [02:22.02] |
Wondering if it gets better |
| [02:24.04] |
Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever |
| [02:26.96] |
So he gets lost tryna find another way back home |
| [02:30.81] |
As he walks the world alone |
| [02:35.40] |
Alone |
| [02:38.10] |
Alone |
| [02:43.85] |
21 years and he’s on the right path |
| [02:46.60] |
But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast |
| [02:49.62] |
And missed out on the little things, all of the little things |
| [02:53.82] |
(Haha, yeah right) |
| [02:55.08] |
Who is he kidding, surely not himself |
| [02:57.88] |
But sometimes he wonders if there’s somebody else |
| [03:00.83] |
Thats takes the same road, but he’ll never know |
| [03:04.88] |
Cuz he walks the world alone |
| [03:06.70] |
This is a story bout a broken boy |
| [03:08.44] |
With his headphones in just to block out the noise |
| [03:12.01] |
Of everyone around him telling him the way to go |
| [03:15.97] |
So he walks the world alone |
| [03:18.52] |
Wondering if it gets better |
| [03:20.46] |
Or if he’s always gonna feel empty forever |
| [03:23.42] |
So he gets lost tryna find another way back home |
| [03:27.30] |
As he walks the world alone |
| [03:31.85] |
Alone (Does it get better, does it get better) |
| [03:34.58] |
Alone |
| [03:38.80] |
As he walks the world alone |
| [03:43.00] |
Alone |
| [03:45.84] |
Alone |
| [03:45.56] |
|
| [03:49.91] |
Yeah he walks the world alone |
| [03:52.03] |
