Criminal
i have been running and running
but i haven't even passed the starting line
i don't got a goal in mind
it would be pointless to have one
i'm just ready to go some place
anywhere but here
where all my demons reside
Everybody knows me for who i was
not who i am today
im looking for a new beginning
for a place nobody knows
they won't have my past to hold against me
I'll be free from the boundaries
my mistakes set for me
My heart has hardened
to the people around me
i see nothing but judgement in their eyes
They have built me into a monster
yet they don't even know my name
they've all seen the news lines
they don't the story
im ready to escape get to a better place
but my past is holding me back
hindering me helpless
