Running Away

[Verse 1: ] Graffiti decorations, under a sky of dust A constant wave of tension, on top of broken trust The lessons that you taught me, I learned were never true Velvet mask stitched in lies painted smile but dead eyes No one sees the rot beneath So I wear it tight just to breathe I used to search for someone real, someone who knew how pain could feel Not the fake love, not thе show But baby, truth's a thing you'll never know Every touch was just a trick Evеry word a poison lick So I stopped looking. I stopped trusting The world so loud Yet I feel nothing [Pre-Chorus:] Now I find myself in question They point the finger at me again Guilty by association You point the finger at me again [Chorus:] I wanna run away, never say goodbye I wanna know the truth, instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers, no more lies I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind [Verse 2:] Paper bags and angry voices, under a sky of dust Another wave of tension, has more than filled me up All my talk of taking action, these words were never true I used to beg the stars for light Now I pray I don't wake tonight Ive made peace with the monsters I hide They whisper sweet nothings, they never lie This world it feeds on hope like meat So I carved a smile and face defeat You call it living, but it's decay I rot with grace and dance anyway [Pre-Chorus:] Now I find myself in question They point the finger at me again Guilty by association You point the finger at me again [Chorus:] I wanna run away, never say goodbye I wanna know the truth, instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers, no more lies I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind [Bridge:] Burn me alive. Make me feel true Even if it's pain, it's better than you [Chorus:] I wanna run away, never say goodbye I wanna know the truth, instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers, no more lies I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind [Outro:] This velvet masks is all ive known Worn so long it's fused to bone I trade eternity for a day where love don't run and hope don't stray But no one knocks, no one stays So I keep dancing in my grave
