lyrics

runaway runaway runaway

I think a lot about the times I left my country
I think a lot about the things that make me hungry
like food, or truth, only had one as a youth, never knew better
than to question the words and the proof,
in the textbooks they cindered
with which we were aloof,
but still memorized inches upon inches of what they told us we never sought to confuse

or refuse, or refuse, but now I refuse to be another sheep in the void, deck unprepared but just power-point thru, stories untold cos we /
avoid the truth, employ the news, and excuse /
away salaries could be / put in to use
putting calories on plates of victims of systemic abuse,
artists accused, art is refused, hard is to say, heart is obtuse,
hard is to stay, sometimes I want to

runaway runaway runaway

I think a lot about the times I love my / nation,
the ovations given, inspirations driven to patience never
thought I’d be elated to leave,
consequences debated but between love and complication it’s always
simple explanations believed
/ / / / / / /
but I think about the times
we can find within the walls in our minds
past tenses kickin balls
over fences too tall to be weigh
ing us down.
but the weight of the ground, weight off the ground,
still hanging around, hanging a
round, a country world renowned at drowning feelings glass ceilings
only crowning princes appealing to interests of the above,
.gov the only website beloved, airtight restrictions and fairprice decisions made by
politicians lacking conviction. no flaws derided,
but by-laws abided like superstitious impositions never to be dethroned
but it’s still ...
it’s still –
