I can't stay
I have to run
To a place far away
So I don't succumb
To the demons in my head
Or the midnight thoughts
That consume me as I lay in bed
When I was younger I was taught
"Love yourself, don't hide who you are"
"Stand up and be a star"
But they cringe when they see my scars
They cringe when they see my soul
Broken, tired, and old
Black as coal
So here I go
Running so
My thoughts let me go
