Runaway

She is heartfelt.
There does come a point, I believe, where you simply have to leave home and stand on your own feet.
And someday, you shall do just that.

Joe.


Runaway.

You're standing there defiantly alone,
Abandoned, but it's rumoured you belong.
They stamped you down but it's only grown you up,
Made you wiser, made you hate,
Made you long for somewhere else--
Somewhere away.

Living on your dreams, you're feeding on
The future, but it's cracked and it's cold.
The light has turned your head so many times before
But you don't wanna let yourself
Grow old like them.

So babydoll, run away,
And surely we'll go to your original place.
So babydoll, fly.
Light splits the sky, the breaking of the day.

You wandered in with nowhere else to go.
Found favour in her sunken, hollow eyes.
But she only comes out at night. Don't that scare you?
She wants you for the rush that comes
In draining helpless blood.
Baby, she's a vampire.

And now, with empty veins and aging heart,
A skeleton discarded here to rot,
The stinging warmth you're drawn to,
But you don't wanna go up in those flames.
But sometimes self-mutilation is the only way to survive.

So babydoll, run away,
And surely we'll go to your original place.
So babydoll, fly.
Light splits the sky, the breaking of the day.
We'll stretch the limits of love.

It's only when you've seen the lightning
The thunder will try to devour you.
Cut you down.
It's a sure thing.
Are you counting the heartbeats?
Are you scared? You should not be.

So babydoll, run away,
And surely we'll go to your original place.
So babydoll, fly.
Light splits the sky, the breaking of the day.
We'll stretch the limits of love.
Make a religion of love.
Make a deity of love.
Make an idol of love.
