 Run Away


when can I leave here

when can I just turn and walk away

let it all vaporize behind me like dreams that never existed

say fuck it all and just get out

always that urge to just run away

run and run and never look back

never come back

never regret escaping

I may be tied to this moment

but the tether is longer than they meant

and now i float away so easy

tempted and seduced by the winds

the thought of the completely unknown

drawn to anonymity

weightless dreams of flight

while my soul lies trapped beneath the rubble

of my damn fortress walls

living breathing rock turned on me

I breathed into it a life of it's own

protection made a cage

if I keep stretching thin enough

maybe I will slide out from under this weight and

really blow away
