Runaway


Life has become to stray Wanting to go away forever and a day On time for the first bus ride Just because you are trying to hide You left because your parents hate Honestly they didn’t want you to become bait Then some local guys said you didn’t need them They could care less they just want relations between you and them Wondering how far you’ll really go Wanting them to like you, you go with the flow In a new city with those guys you call friends They buy you drinks knowing roofies will be the end As you sit in the ER waiting for your life to fade away You begin to wish you didn’t runaway
