The Psychological Kind (Poetry)

Run Away

My doors are closed, my eyes are closed

The light is bright and I'm so dark

I feel it in my bones, and I feel it in my heart

I'd like to run away

But there is nowhere left to run

run, run, run away,

I'm going nowhere anyway

There is no end to the earth and back

And life's all the qualities I lack

Pebbles, stones and bricks

I still feel pain from long ago

You think you've won but I've just quit

My watch had gone and died long ago

You think you've won and that's just it

My sleeves are as empty as my icy heart

Run, run, run away

I have nowhere to go, anyway

I've done my time and fell in line

And there's nowhere left to stay

Run

Run away

I've drawn the line, but that's okay

I'd end up a monster, anyway

I took my dues and cut the queues

And there's nowhere left to stay

Nowhere left to stay
