Lyrics
Dr. Shaw
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Five years old with an imagination the size of the red sea
And every night he's out to get me
I can't escape from his clutches I don't know one day I might just run away with nothing left to give
Every time I lay my head on my pillow I get fucked up
Well I know that I can't wake my dad up or he'll send me back to bed with a spanking
And I can't tell anyone at school they'll just laugh and treat me cruel
Actually this guy is chasing me inside my head
I don't know if I'm alive or I'm dead
Will this guy fucking leave me I can't seem to escape from these dreams and this madness
I gotta go wake my grandpa up because he's the only one who'll understand
Won't you stop chasing me because in these dreams I cry
But no one hears me
Frustrated at what I am I don't know I talk to the doctors
But they can't help me
I don't know which way is up or down all I know is he's chasing me
Won't you stop chasing me because in these dreams I cry
But no one hears me
And I still get chills remembering the way that my head was tucked between the cold wall and my left arm and he's swinging that belt so hard
I can hear it cutting the air and I look up to him and I say
I hope you shoes shine from all the tears that you walk on
And I ran all the way home
