[Verse 1]
Stand on the threshold on the edge of what's known
Creep down the hallway to the window
Take a stab in the darkness, 'cause we're not alone
I'll never give up my throne
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
Crunch at the necklace, watch it fall to the floor
Cold wind howling, like never before
Scream in the darkness, "Am I all alone?"
Is there anyone home?
[Chorus]
Hey! I don't need your help
Mom says I can't stay
I'll run it by myself
Bend it your own way
I don't need your help
Mom says you can't stay
I'll run it by myself
[Verse 3]
Ride in thе hay and the sun on your back
And the sun dips down and the night paints you black
Thеre's a ring in your ear and a shine in your eye
You know that you'll never die
[Chorus]
Hey! I don't need your help
Mom says I can't stay
I'll run it by myself
Bend it your own way
I don't need your help
Mom says you can't stay
I'll run it by myself
I wanna know where I'm going
(Don't slow down)
And if ill ever come back
(Don't look twice)
And as my pulse starts slowing
(Don't slow down, don't look twice)
I know I'm on the right track
(Don't slow down, don't look twice, don't go back, don't slow down)
[Verse 4]
Take it bag full of bones with a shivering soul
Pick 'em up when he's down, make a diamond from coal
There's a ring in his ear and a shine in his eye
Spread your arms out and fly
