Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was born on the wrong side of the train-tracks

I was raised with the strap across my back

Lay me on my side or hold me up to the light, yeah

[Verse 2]

I was burned by the cold kiss of a vampire

I was bit by the whisper of a soft liar

Any good friend of yours is a good friend of mine

[Verse 3]

Broken boy

How does it feel?

Broken boy

How does it feel?

How does it feel?

[Verse 4]

Tell me why I'm forced to live in this skin

Tell me why I'm forced to live in this skin

I'm an alien, not just an alien, oh

[Verse 5]

Tell me why I was born to live in this skin

Tell me how I'm supposed to be forgiven

With my hand in the hive and the sun in my eyes, yeah

[Verse 6]

Broken boy

How does it feel?

Broken boy

How does it feel?

How does it feel?

[Verse 7]

I was born on the wrong side of the train-tracks

Always born on the wrong side of the train-tracks

Lay me on my side or hold me up to the light, yeah

[Verse 8]

I was burned by the cold kiss of a vampire

I was promised the keys to an empire

Any good friend of yours is a good friend of mine, oh

[Verse 9]

Broken boy

How does it feel?

Broken boy

How does it feel?

How does it feel?
