Runaway

Gutter trickle, bombast
A gunpowder wind
Wanna' let it all sink in
Like a rain collecting
I held on to you
Even when you begged me not to
Can't ya see I'm all bound up
A million knots down in my gut
Well I feel I've had enough, enough
I just wanna' run away
Run, run away
Run, run away
Run, run away
And I can make it happen
I'm magic and all
See me conjuring my downfall
Oh the gates are closin' in
Swallowin' the key
How am I to know you love me
Love me
Can't ya see I'm all bound up
A million knots down in my gut
Well I feel I've had enough, enough
I just wanna' run away
Run, run away yea
Run, run away
Kill the pain
Kill the shame
Wanna' feel nothin' at all
Run, run away
Run, run away
Run, run away
Run, run away
