A Small White Flag Lyrics by Mark Lenover

A Small White Flag

0

They've built a life
And maybe that's enough
I'm so far behind
I will never catch up
They've got their children
And their weekends off
But I don't want children
And I don't have a job
They might think I'm jealous
They're only half wrong
They've got careers
And I've only got songs
They've got responsibilities and bills
While I live on charity, junk food and pills
I've gotta run, gotta run, gotta run, gotta run
Some other way
I dive under the water's
Untroubled surface
Through the murky pollution
To discover my purpose
I'm alone when I surface
Are they so far ahead?
Or are they just better
At holding their breath?
Considering romance
My heart turns to stone
I really just want to be
Left on my own
If nobody wants me
I really don't care
I've got what I need
And I don't want to share
I've gotta run, gotta run, gotta run, gotta run
Some other way
I suppose it all boils down to one simple question:
Will I be the rule, or the lonesome exception?
Am I prepared to give up all that I've got
For a place out amongst you, or my own private spot
In a quiet asylum where nobody speaks
Of treatment as the building settles and creaks
Behind razor-wire fencing, reaching all around
Not to keep our kind in, but to keep the rest out
I've gotta run...
