Runaway
Flee from my problems
Stay on the run
The bullet will find me
But I have the gun
Run from my troubles
Stay away from the knife
Blood, pain, and tears
As I take my own life
Never stopping
Never slow down
In puddles of saddness
I will always drown
If I'm not moving
It means that I'm dead
A blade to my wrist
Or a gun to my head
My legs are hurting
But I can't stop now
If I did
My parents would frown
Maybe turn left
Or maybe turn right
Either way
Its always a fight
Hang from a tree
Or die from a shot
If I slit my wrist
I'd bleed alot
Runaway from everything
Friends, school, and my home life
I'll never amount to anything
Maybe in the afterlife
I'm f*****g exhausted
and I'm to afraid to say
That i really need help
instead ill just stay away
Always running
In one place I'll never stay
No one can help
A little runaway
