I didn't expect them to know my name
Surrounding me like a black steel frame
I saw the world go up in flames
I just smiled and stood there, watching
(chorus)
It doesn't seem like this is real
I guess it's just the way I feel
I don't know why
But I've learned from all my mistakes
This time I will escape
I'm too young to die
We're all too young to die
