Bangarang

(album: The Wrong Way - 2013)

I'm stuck in this city just like old man Bukowski
And I'm watching the world move on without me.
I'm still fifteen in the city of shame
And society's chains are still calling my name.
So can you blame me for finding peace on the road
When my whole life I was afraid to come home?
I was forced to be a pirate, so I break things and make noise,
Do what it takes to forever be a lost boy.

Give me the moment I've been searching for.
Give me the story that I love.
Give me the ending that pulls every nerve.
Make me the kid that conquers the world.

I never thought I'd make it past twenty-four.
"Act your age." I don't know what that means anymore.
This is still my movie, but before the credits roll,
I want that epic ending that leaves you speechless when the curtains close.
Be the boys who jumped the fence.
Be the ones smiling when driving off the cliff.
Be the last kind standing, honored to face his death.
I want to be the moment you won't forget.

Live like I'm stuck in a movie screen.
Smile like my first kiss from a girl.
I'm an old man too young to neglect these scenes,
So make me the boy that conquers the world.
