I scream in the night, my breath getting caught in my throat.

All these kids are damaged, and so am I.

Don't we all just want love?

But we're all deadbeats, you got to admit.

Our mistakes multiply, I feel them crushing my soul.

However you're different, aren't you?

I can see that special something in you, glowing behind your freckled eyes.

Hold me and never give up.

I'll protect you, we're not like the rest.

We can be better, lets just run away.

I know our hate for the world burns deep.

I don't even know if you like me but, we're friends for now.

That's all I'll ever need.

You being beside me, the moon shining bright.

We'll bury your brother, he deserves a resting place.

All the things he has done, that's not you baby.

Escape into my arms, I know it's not much.

Too young to be this numb but, I'll keep you safe.

I don't want your flame to die out.

I scream in the night, my breath getting caught in my throat.

All these kids are damaged, and so am I.

Don't we all just want love?

We're all deadbeats but, you'll never be alone.
