I just want to run wild
strap my black boots on tight
hear leather on concrete in empty night
Let my lightning set the streets on fire
feel my skin ****** by distant eyes
watching me from the icy sides
of their mundane wives
mundane lives
shooting up their jealously makes my head feel high
scream up like a bullet at the sky
please God, don't let me cry
leave these crystal eyes diamond dry
already on the edge, just let me fly
I've never felt more alive
I laugh like a deviant child,
when you all seem to think I've died
But baby, I'm only dead on the inside
or the outside
Maybe both, or neither, at the same time
I still like me better when I've lost my mind

scream up like a bullet at the sky
please God, don't let me cry
leave these crystal eyes diamond dry
already on the edge, just let me fly
I've never felt more alive
I laugh like a deviant child,
when you all seem to think I've died
But baby, I'm only dead on the inside
or the outside
Maybe both, or neither, at the same time
I still like me better when I've lost my mind
Lana Del Rey has been inspiring me lately
