Run Away

This is for any teen who ever ran away from home When your home never really felt like a home A home that you weren't comfortable calling it home I want you to know you aren't alone I know what you are going through And maybe it'll be me or someone closer to you We want to be there for you I know it's hard you feel alone you just want to die You cry at night all alone Most days it feels like its never going to get better You might think suicide is the only way to feel alive But I can't let you do that so brother sister non-conformer If you feel alone let me share my story with you And hopefully it will make you feel a little less alone I was twelve years old the first time I packed my bags And decided I needed to be on my own Yeah packed my bike whispered into the shadow of the night Peace I'm off to find a better life Maybe it's because of your siblings Who hated you and treated you like a bag of shit so you said fuck it Daily repetition, sibling hating This ain't a home if these bitches are hating on you every fucking day Like what the fuck is this sick gameplay You see I ran away six times before I even reached thirteen years old Spending nights in piles of freezing snow sometimes in old barns In the middle of fucking nowhere but it was better than home Floors covered in bird shit Still it was better than a place I couldn't even call home No warm place to escape to I thought maybe suicide would be the only way to feel alive So to any teen whose ever ran away from home When your home never really felt like a home Here's another story and hopefully you'll feel a little less alone Kelsey was fourteen years old and couldn't escape her momma's torturing So she took off but first she called me Her and I joined the broken hearted symphony That night I helped escape the suffering Three AM snicking into apartment buildings Just to stay warm for a couple of hours until a bus could take us away from here Where we could find a home for her where she could be happy Still she ended up as young mother in her teens But she turned out to be one of the most beautiful queens So to any teen who ran away from home when home was a broken home Maybe from a parent problem that you didn't know how to solve But what the fuck does the world expect we are so fucking young Cmon boy help your crack smoking alcoholic mother It's your duty son Cmon girl every daughter needs a job to raise her unstable father Your the teen and the world says fix your parents problems Sorry but I'm only a teen Let's pack our bags from the age of thirteen we began living on the streets Couch surfing predator escaping At least hopefully not every teen is caught in a predators fantasy-turned-reality So this goes out to any teen who ever ran away from home When your home never really felt like a home A home that you weren't comfortable calling it home Run away with me today or tonight Let us escape on a bus and make better memories But if you want to run away there's a major price to pay Yet if it's worth paying to escape the pain Of a home that isn't even a fucking home then pack your bags Though let me remind you I cry every night Trying to escape the terror mares of having no family or good memories Never allowed to sleep but at least when I was a teen When I ran away sleeping in cold abandoned shacks It was actually the nights I felt most peacefully So to any teen who ever ran away from home When your home never really felt like a home Or you feel like you need to run away from a home That you aren't comfortable calling it home Just like Kelsey run away with me One day just like her you will be a beauty queen Or if you're like me maybe you'll become a King of kings And I hope one day if my songs make me a celebrity I will have enough fame to have a name big enough to ask her on a date Just the two of us just for one night Moonlight midnight rides we can call each other's boo Just for one night but it's true Some of the hardest lives become names of legendary So if you're a teen and you need to feel free Pack your bags and run away with me in this song of our memories Together you and I can feel free finally in our hearts we can feel at home Run-away teens togethers we won't feel alone Together our hearts can make each other feel like home Don't feel alone I'm here for you
