Flee the Day
Run with me
And we can go for miles
Without a care in the world
Or a thought in our heads
Run with me
While we laugh
Or jump
Or skip
Or just embrace the freedom
Of a world that lets us accept ourselves
Run with me
For I need a partner
To accompany me on this journey
I cannot go alone but
I cannot stay...
Together we can flee the day
Run with me
Away from this acrid world
Of sickness and lust and terror
Destruction at its worst
In a land without a heart of its own
Run with me
If we start now
We may outrun the sparks
Flying at us
Scorching our heels
Leaving a sharp reminder
Of the fire we were escaping
Run with me
And that will be long forgotten
In the start of our own light
Where the clutches of turmoil and fear
Cannot touch us
As hard as it tries
Run with me
And we can go for miles
Without a care in the world
That world
Or a thought in our heads
Run with me
And together we can flee the day
