I realize as I awake
The ground for which these choices I make
It was all so vivid
The faces I remember were still livid
Run away
It’s okay
As I traveled home
I was a part but yet I felt more alone
Yet I follow the chrome
And everyone with their faces buried in their phone
Run away
It’s okay
You are not me
I’m tired of living so complacently
Sitting around waiting
And I’m tired of your constant berating
Run away
It’s okay
I won’t go back
I swear and I give you my word of fact
Piles of paper that stack
All this time to worry about how I should act
Run away
It’s okay
Feeling uneasy
I’m hiding and I hear you count “one, two, and three
“Ready or not, you say
I’m hear well hid from a life led astray
Run away
It’s okay
