runsaway

runaway runaway runaway runaway
from before from our homes what is know our selves
our selves our young selves hoodlum kicking our old hells

there are others here 
like me on the streets
and one who i like
especially
and we're mad at the things 
that make us scream until we cry

abandoned 
and abandoning
the world is so cold, 
so cruel
so irrational 
rather turn our backs
and inoculate 
its apathetics
they tell us we'll go nowhere that way
but where has their world gone to
and they act like we should share the blame
they'll make you change you have to change
they'll make you change you have to change

or they'll press down their prowessed palms
and cage your emotions 
in the fingers of their hands
rip me away i'm intoxicated
rip me away i'm unstable
take me to a place that's safe
and you control how I grow

underneath it all 
we're just kids
testing drugs and alcohol 
some are suicidal
we're mad at the things 
that make us scream until we cry
rather see through narrow eyes and
laugh through blurry smiles
this is a good feeling thing
something to hold onto in the dizzy spinning
we may not know it all
but our youth-lust will lead us
through a vicarious self-
discovery
they tell us we'll go nowhere that way 
but where has their world gone to
and they act like we should share the blame
they'll make you change you have to change
they'll make you change you have to change

or they'll press down their prowessed palms
and cage your emotions 
in the fingers of their hands
rip me away i'm intoxicated
rip me away i'm unstable
take me to a place that's safe
and you control how I grow

you have to change
baby I have to change
or they'll rip me away
baby they'll rip you away
or I could just
run from

everything.
