lyrics

I live among angels, and they around me
Caught in the crossfire, the youngest of three

I’m an adult, darling, please treat me as such
This house is an avalanche, we’re all losing touch

So I’m going off for a while
Away to the city
Armed with a scowl or a smile
But pretty unprepared

Spare me our queries and candlelit theories
Spare me your tears and your leading looks
Childhood is selfish and I’m still too scared
You raised me by the book, now I’m unprepared
Yes I’m unprepared

The tears are a camouflage, I thrive in the rain
Ambition has driven me, both up and insane

So I’m coming home for a while
Away from the city
Armed with a scowl or smile
But pretty unprepared
