Runaway, because the world is slowly turning against us Your acquaintanceship, that’s what you called them yesterday But today they are your number one enemies Your heart is in danger, your mind is suffering, while your body is chased around every day Because humanity vacated their souls, turning them into vultures
They're out there to catch you, sweet talk you, then murder you later To soften you, then destroy you when you’re helpless and powerless
They’ll always pretend to care about you, more than everybody else just to get under your skin They’ll make you believe you are one of them, but true colors always come out But it’s usually too late to back up, undo the damage, take back what you’ve given them Choose wisely when you bring them by your side, because nobody else got your back covered, but you Runaway, run away, run away
They’ll bully you with signatures, you won't realize because they're always smiling Nice all the time, even when it’s not necessary, you’d swear humanity found its way back to life But that suddenly disappears when they knock at your front door with a letter of demand To collect what’s due to them, because they found a loop to bring you down. Make only the best decision before you invite them in Runaway, run away, run away
To a place where there's safety, although that seems to be slippery, almost doesn't exist How they murder us with their words, even when we hide is the proof How they unzip those tight jeans without your consent is the proof How they see business in our body parts is the proof How they see money rolling down the streets, maturing, when they watch us grow is the proof How they would rather be rich while we starve than helping us out is the proof Runaway, run away, run away
This used to be a nice place, everyone was the motivation for you to be a better person one day But today everyone is the reason you look in every corner questioning their innocence
Conversation with strangers was the best, those fresh arguments, suggestions and sharing ideas just never get old They never judge because they see you for who you are now than who you were before But today you have to count the escape routes should something strange happen Because today he smiles at you, tomorrow they find you in a shallow grave in his back yard Today she makes you a great meal, tomorrow she stands in the queue to claim all your belongings because you’re gone Today she plays a role of a mother better than your own mother ever did, tomorrow you can’t find your way home, like "a traveler and his greedy camel" Runaway, run away, run away
Today you call them daddy when you are lucky to see them when your first words pop out of your mouth, Should they wait that long because they always run away when they hear mommy is expecting you Today you call her mommy when you are lucky she didn't drop you on the side of a road with a note in your bag Because nowadays that’s no rare possibility But you didn't ask for any of that I know, Fun was the reason you get to suffer either one
Sometimes blessings fall on you, you get to say mommy and daddy at the same time But they suddenly feel they’re way too good for one another, for each other’s company Leaving you with tough choices to make On their behalf I apologize for them all, humanity lost its meaning that’s why But you’ve got to run away, before you get caught up in the middle of their drama
Today everything is good, but that’s not how it’s gonna be when the sun goes down When it shines bright the next day, you’ve got to make the right choices. Hold on to everything you have, fight for what you need But always run away from everything that doesn’t serve its purpose in your life Runaway kid, run away brother, run away sister, mommy, daddy, friend, run away Don’t look back when it’s only sadness you find when you do, because humanity is the thing in the past The bedtime stories told by our grandparents, sharing for us before we fall asleep every night as kids growing up Runaway, run away, run away as fast as you can
