Runaway

Open my eyes Fell the warmth of the rising sun Look outside See a new day has just begun Go on, this world awaits you All my friends wave back as I say hello It's the same old routine And it feels so damn slow But there's a thrill inside I just can't run away from That I have this secret That I'm nothing like them at all But the chance to escape The feeling's too great Like a criminal spy Living life as a lie Will you do what it takes to survive? Just run away from the eyes that taunt you The ghosts that haunt you The darkness inside A million lights illuminate The path you're meant to fly So run away to where no one will hurt you I'll find you there So don't be afraid to cry And just prove you're more human inside Open my eyes But the world is still dark outside And this dream of a past life I tried to hide plays on Unwinds and resets See the counting sheep to fall asleep But all I can count are the bodies that fell Maybe I'll join them in hell Just run away from their lies that taunt you The past that haunts you The demon inside My life was cut short But here's another chance to thrive So run away to where no one will hurt you There's someone there To help spread your wings and fly They're what makes you more human inside What can I do to make it so I Can live with them side by side Must I put on a disguise Wear these feathers with pride If I could survive just long enough To discover who I am inside Am I human or a lie? Don't run away from this new world before you Become who you want to The owl inside Just run away from the eyes that taunt you The ghosts that haunt you The darkness inside A million lights illuminate The path you're meant to fly So run away to where no one will hurt you I'll find you there So don't be afraid to cry And these feathers will try But I'm also just human inside
