You run, run…run away  
It’s your heart…that you betray  
Feeding on…your hungry eyes  
I bet you’re not so civilized

Well, isn’t love…primitive  
A wild gift…that you wanna give  
Break out of captivity  
And follow me, stereo jungle child  
Love is the kill…your heart’s still wild

## Chorus: Shootin’ at the walls of heartache, bang, bang, I am the warrior Well I am the warrior, and heart to heart you’ll win…if you survive the warrior…the warrior

It was my most recent post here…from the **Speak to Me Only in Song Lyrics** thread.

_TBG Round 1_

Hahaha! Me and my friend play a game whenever we message each other saying that we are bored. The game is super simple. Someone names an item, like ‘blue sock’ or ‘pink hairband’, and we have to take a picture with that item as proof. I made a folder to keep all the pictures in, and labeled it that. TBG stands for it’s name, “The Bored Game”. Round 1 just means it was the first round of items.

I’m just a lonely boy  
Lonely and blue  
I’m all alone  
With nothin’ to do

I’ve got everything  
You could think of  
But all I want  
Is someone to love

Someone, yes, someone to love  
Someone to kiss  
Someone to hold  
At a moment like this
