[Verse 1]

How can I see someone so distant

Who’s right in front of me

A G#

Always so resistant

Yet always so lonely

Those eyes are

Looking off so far away

In his mind

G# F#

Is he exploding

[Chorus]

D C#

Is he in a trap

And he can’t escape

Something tells him what to say

D C#

Will he come back

Did he throw away the key

D# B

To keep the darkness at bay

[Verse 2]

Relentless in the ring

That birds gonna sing

A G#

His swan songs in

The bargain bin

Will he get the call

Is it his ringtone

A G#

For a boy so small

He can sure drone

[Chorus]

D C#

Is he in a cell

With lines he can’t erase

He has the days on his arm

D C#

Will he come back

Did he really go away

D# B

Does he have nothing to say

[Interlude]

A G# F#

A D C# F#

E G A

[Outro]

Distant boy looks on

From a skyscraper building

A G#

He sees all

Your fiddling

A G#

He sees all

Your meddling

Distant boy

G# F#

Is gonna go away

And fly
