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.
Strung out and broken
A boy wastes away
Picks up the bottle
And drinks it down before he hits the stage!
He's got to sell empty soul
He doesn't know where to turn
So he just throws it away
He sees the man he could be
Then as he falls to his knees, he rips another rail
Always said you'd be the one
But it's only just begun
Living life as if he died tomorrow
Always knew you'd be someone
One wrong turn and it's all gone
Living life as if you died tomorrow
You're flying too close to the sun!
Sex fueled and lonely
Fucked up and dumb
Spent all his money on a drug dealer, speed dial number 1!
He knows he'll die on his knees
Feels like he's trapped in a cage
Why should he care anyway?
He sits and lights up a smoke
He pulls it back 'til he chokes and rips another rail
Always said you'd be the one
But it's only just begun
Living life as if he died tomorrow
Always knew you'd be someone
One wrong turn and it's all gone
Living life as if you died tomorrow
You're flying too close to the sun!
The sun! The sun!
You're flying too close to the sun!
Flying too close!
Always said you'd be the one
But it's only just begun
Living life as if he died tomorrow
Always knew you'd be someone
One wrong turn and it's all gone
Living life as if you died tomorrow
You're flying too close to the sun!
You're flying too close to the sun!
Flying too close!
