bangkok traffic Lyrics

Mother, you know

That one day, I'll make it

Father, stand tall

For one day, I won't have to fake it

Thought the lights were green

Time to go, time to leave home

But they'd call me weak

Like my body's just out of foam

And I know it's no excuse, but I was young, I was a child

And I know it's no excuse, that I would cry out in the wild

I was leaving the people I love

Thought the lights were red

Time to go, going insane

Felt like I was dead

And nobody knows my name

And I know it's no excuse, that I want stories to be told

And I know it's no excuse, to keep this side for when I'm old

And one day I'll make them proud

Don't give up on me now

I'm falling, I'm crying, again

For one day I'll make it out

Like my brother and sister and friends

Out of this love

Out of this life

Where pressure's so hard and the air gets so tight

And I'm just a kid

Oh trying to survive

I was trying to survive

Left, right, up, down

Wanna leave, stuck in traffic

Left, right, up, down

Wanna leave, where's the exit

Left, right, up, down

Wanna leave, where's the exit

Oh

Take me home and watch me miss it

I, rule the city lights

See right through your lies

They shine brighter than the sun, when they signalize

That you're seeing more than one

No I won't act surprised

I look behind, I see a fire

But there's no road home

I close my eyes, I hear a choir

But they're all just clones

I turn around, spilling secrets knowing that I'm wired

Don't hear a sound, when I drive alone crash cause I'm tired

We made plans but all you made were cancellations

Held my hand just so you could break my heart

We'd walk by your friends you'd call me a possession

My obsession

Redemption

I, rule the city lights

See right through your lies

They shine brighter than the sun, when they signalize

That you're seeing more than one

No I won't act surprised

You, broke all of our rules

Thought I had no clue

Now you're hiding from the sun, acting traumatized

But your guilty lies said you were never unadvised

Never unadvised

Sometimes, it doesn't feel like home

Things have changed and father says he doesn't wanna stay

Mother, I know

I won't get caught up in the things the people back there say
