Runaway

She runs from her mind

From her thoughts, from her feelings

Yet they always seem to find

What she had been concealing

In the world she is lost

No place to run, no where to hide

Not knowing what her actions will cost

And no one to trust, no one to confide

Looking for an escape

She poisons herself into space

To stop the replaying tape

And go back to that familiar place

Free for a short time

Lost in its dumb innocence

Her false happiness at it's prime

Only herself left to convince

Until the feeling is over

And she is all tired out

No more thoughts left to hold her

Too weak to even shout

And so she will fall

Into an uninterrupted sleep

Hearing nothing at all

Not even a peep

Until the time has arrived

Time for her to face

She can no longer hide

From feelings she tried to erase
