-Damian Lester-
I'm the king of my town
Spent my life socially climbing
Now I've got to get out
Eighteen years old and I am dying
You filled me up with all the kinds of things
That just don't serve me
I bought into your game of fantasy
You play with your time
Your words they poured out
Filled me up before I could realize
Descend upon my ears
Innocence with nothing to turn to
I try to swim but I am drowning
In the filth of my mind
And when it hurts so bad I run until
No one can find me
Desperation's taking hold
My eyes are clearing
Why oh why didn't I see it
What I do to forget
Is going now but what will replace it?
I try to sit but I am standing
On the legs you gave me
And when I move it's only me that's here
To watch me falling
Oh would you like to run with me?
Leave all this time behind we're free
I'm the king of my town
Twenty-four years old and I am flying
Flying—
