Red Headed Stepchild

Hello darkness, come on in

Let me light a candle

Imaginations running

Hands start to tremble

Knows enough to know not to believe

What is real, and what it seems to be

Knows what's keeping him from being free

Right outside your door

Don't run away

Red headed stepchild

I can only promise you won't

Find your way back home

In another room there's laughing

Entertaining strangers

Wasn't there, don't breathe no more

But keeping out some angels

Laughed so much, he almost cried

Stranger offers him a ride

City blocks roll on by

Never coming back

Don't run away

Red headed stepchild

I can only promise you won't

Find your way back home

Tear your pictures off my wall

I hate to look at strangers

Then it's burn before warned

Keep me out of danger

Knows enough to know not to believe

What is real, and what it seems to be

Knows what's keeping him from being free

Right outside your door

Don't run away

Red headed stepchild

I can only promise you won't

Find your way back home

Find your way back home
