A Necessary Escape

How can I be happy, the thought makes me want to heave
I sit around idle expecting you to leave 
The spark you threw is in my chest spreading in my veins
I cave and I buckle while searching for some chains 

Runaway, runaway, runaway and flee
I cannot escape, as I mostly fear me 
The grass is green the sky is blue, i should feel much more glee 
But the locks are bolted tight and I threw away the key
Careless with my inner core losing what I really am
I set my soul on fire, just watch me try to scram 

Go ahead and punish me I know not what I do
My heart cries, my eyes bleed from that short and  twisted screw
Losing sights not what it seems, my brain rebuilds my world.
But all the colors faded, and I'm forced to trust their words.   
       
Runaway, runaway, runaway from me
Go escape while you can or you'll never be free
Trapped in this dark deep hole isn't all that bad
But if you let me have some poison I might not be so sad
Reckless cause my head is spinning and no longer 
can i see 
Please guide me to the cliff side and push me in the sea

The ghost of me is lurking near I feel it's cold chill
I try to float far away by swallowing that pill 
Tasting the future as i lick my lips, I taste sweet sweet blood. 
Then I wake to realize that I'm only licking mud.

Don't runaway, runaway, don't runaway please 
Reality is crooked, you're really just a tease  
Get me off this ride, no longer can I steer 
I'm miles from where I started and no one wants to hear 

My world has crumbled at your feet 
Will you leave me in the street
