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
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pitiful, pitiful, how you’re stuck in your way
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pitiful, pitiful, fear falls over your face
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-
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
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Pitiful, pitiful, how you’re stuck in your way, way
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-
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?
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
