Boy Afraid

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pitiful, pitiful, how you're stuck in your way
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pitiful, pitiful, fear falls over your face

[Chorus]
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-

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pitiful, pitiful, how you're stuck in your way, way

[Chorus]
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-

[Bridge]
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?

[Chorus]
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
