Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
I stood against the wall of the school building. A wall that was wet from the rain. Wet, and decorated in graffiti and dirt. Looking to the sky I see the clouds, still dark with rain. The clouds
themselves looked more like dust and dirt then the water soaked sponges that poured on top of me.
I feel a wave of tension ripple through my body. I feel I can't trust anyone anymore. I feel hurt. They lied to me. They told me everything would be ok, that I would be able to make my own
choices, and yet they try and tell me how to run my life. They teach me about how can I trust them with anything when all they do is talk about me behind my back.
Now I wonder what it is they really want to teach me. I wonder who I can really talk to when I'm blamed for what others do. They blame me; they blame who I hang around with. I shouldn't be
blamed, stop blaming me for what I don't do.
I wanna runaway
Never say goodbye
I want to 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
I want to runaway, escape from the world. Instead, I run hoping, praying I don't have to explain myself. I don't want to talk to anyone, not even to say goodbye. I run quickly. The wind and
rain running through me like knives. I just want answers. I just want truth. I'm sick of wondering why people feel they must protect me from the world. I'm not as much of a child as they think.
All these thoughts chase each other, whisper, circle, race through my head as I run inside my room, slamming the door behind me. I want to clear my mind.
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
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
I walked out of the store with paper bags in my hands. The sky still had the same dusty rain clouds. Walking to the car, I took out my keys and attempted to unlock the door when they slipped.
I bent down to get them when someone shouted my name.
"Hey, how's it going? Haven't seen you in a while," the person said. I looked up and a wave of anger came over me; tempting me to throw up.
"Hi," I responded coldly. It was one of them and I wasn't in the mood to deal with anything they had to say.
"Where have you been? We've missed you," she asked through a forced smile. I could see where this was going.
"I have to go," my response came automatically as I put the bags in the back seat.
Her response came as more of an accusation then anything else.
"What is your problem? Why do you not like us anymore?" she demanded. The yelling, the anger, no more, I want no part of any of it anymore.
I wanna runaway
Never say goodbye
I want to 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
I wanted to go away, runaway, never say goodbye. But I'm not that kind of person.
"I'm out of here, I so don't want to talk about it," I shut the door, wanting to get away from all the lies and pain. I don't want to wonder why anymore. I just wanted to get out of there and open
up my eyes and be free.
I'm gonna runaway
And never say goodbye
Driving away from the store hurt as all the memories flooded back; I couldn't take it anymore.
'I'm going away and not even saying goodbye,' I thought as I turned left instead of right.
I'm gonna runaway
And never wonder why
I turned away from my problems and looked to find a new life, not wondering where I was going or why. I knew why.
I'm gonna runaway
And open up my mind
Thoughts were running through my head as the scenery passed my eyes. I wasn't going to take the crap they handed out anymore.
I want to runaway
Never say goodbye
I want to know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I want to know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
Driving away from everything didn't feel good or bad. Just as if I wasn't really there; almost like I was watching myself from my own little cloud.
I was thinking about everything, how I was running away from my problems without saying anything to anyone. I didn't want to think about anything, but I did.
I want to runaway
And open up my mind
Memories of everything came flooding back and only made the justification of my decision more clear then ever.
I want to runaway
And open up my mind
People not helping me, instead of cheer they brought criticism. All the pain is just far too much. I knew that by running I was burying my past, but I couldn't care less.
I want to runaway
And open up my mind
"If I quit now, they win." The voice came out of the back of my mind.
"Who says I'm quitting?" I expressed out loud, breaking the silence. "I'm just refusing to go back into battle until I'm strong enough."
I want to runaway
And open up my mind
Little did I realize where I had driven to; I was back home, with only one thought racing in my mind.
'I want to runaway.'
