natives

i'm like a cat in a cage

locked up and battered and bruised

i am the prodigal son

a shameful prodigy too

i am the love of your life

battering ram and confused

i turn each day into night

i stand there waiting for you

there is desire to fight

but i have nothing to prove

but with a crowd and some lights

i start to feel things move

do you have something to hide? 'cause i think that we all do

i am a child inside

back up and give me some room

i'm just a bastard child

don't let it go to your head

i'm just a waste of your time

maybe i'm better off dead

you turn us lose in the night

i'm fucking jekyll and hyde

we'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside

so let me go

go

so let me go

go

just let me go

go

i'd rather go it alone

so let me go

go

so let me go

go

just let me go

go

i'm never coming home

don't start to panic for me

'cause i have nothing to lose

i am as bright as the sun

i burn up all that i choose

upon the side of a field i see a city with lights

i touch her face and i kneel

she tells me she's not alive

i am too nervous to run

like kids who scatter and hide

to reach and grab for someone

but end up buried alive

a world is waiting for me

a road that i rarely use

i start to feel my feet

they kick down walls as they move

i'm just a bastard child

don't let it go to your head

i'm just a waste of your time

maybe i'm better off dead

you turn us lose in the night

i'm fucking jekyll and hyde

we'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside

so let me go

go

so let me go

go

just let me go

go

i'd rather go it alone

so let me go

go

so let me go

go

just let me go

go

i'm never coming home

i'm just a bastard child

don't let it go to your head

i'm just a waste of your time

maybe i'm better off dead

you turn us lose in the night

i'm fucking jekyll and hyde

we'll have the time of our lives although we're dying inside

so let me go

go

so let me go

go

just let me go

go

i'd rather go it alone

so let me go

go

so let me go

go

just let me go

go

i'm never coming home
