Forced to be a soldier, told to grow up cause of your culture Man up, why is you crying? Don't be a trick, [?] when my brothers keep dying over issues I'm paranoid, I'm scared I'll do the same to my kids I'm scared of joy, whenever I'm happy, life begins to hit It's clockwork, the devil keeps waiting for me to slip It's a game to him, like hide-and-seek Hopefully I'm never "it" [Interlude: Aklesso] Do you ever want to fly away, wanna fly away? Do you ever want to fly away, wanna fly away? Do you ever want to fly away, wanna fly away? Oo, oo, oo, I'll fly away [Outro: Sarah Juers] Don't leave me, don't leave me here Don't leave me, don't leave me here Don't leave me, don't leave me here Don't leave me, don't leave me here
