Lyrics

Fog on the waves like a smoking gun
Watch them evaporate into the sun
All of the fear about never being loved
Burns the throat like smoke does to lungs

Crash landing in the center of my brain
The middle of nowhere, all that empty space
Like an ugly angel who's fallen from grace
That senseless stability evaporates

Was it murder on the mind, or a stolen prized jewel?
A question of indifference that led you to the clues
Killing for the beauty of appreciating youth
Escaping Alcatraz to hear your name on the news

Watching the lighthouse scanning the pier
Dream of the spotlight holding me dear
Do something crazy to distract from the fear
Cross out my crime with a saltwater tear

"Coward!" live on the edge with something to scream
Dive off the cliff, scared to reach the peak
Wash my skin to remove all the grief
Cut my knee so the sharks see me bleed

Puppeting the hopeless to try and get away
So, the anger doesn't kill me, find somewhere to place the blame
Masquerade your feelings so they won't see through your game
Escaping Alcatraz so people will know your name

Run, run, run, chase me
An attention-seeking crazy
Never meant to disappear into thin air
No reason to care in a distant stare

Go, go, go, don't stop
Now's your chance before you get caught
Laugh it all off, like it doesn't matter
If you're a part of the distant chatter

So, I write sleep-deprived
So, I can prove I'm someone worth knowing

Was it murder on the mind, or a stolen prized jewel?
It's stupid if I'm honest, I just wanted to be wanted

Killing for the beauty of appreciating youth
Escaping Alcatraz to hear your name on the news

Puppeting the hopeless to try and get away
So, the anger doesn't kill me, find somewhere to place the blame
Masquerade your feelings so they won't see through your game
Escaping Alcatraz so people know my name
