Runaway Lyrics by Ray Curenton

Believer, a.k.a. The Last Shall Be the First

2023

[Verse 1]
Could it be persuading
Really is not working?
Need to try a different approach
Stolen pride, constant fear
Personal injury
Terror has completely encroached
Abuse is obtuse
Doesn’t care how much
Devastation is left in its wake
Look within for the thirst
The will to repair the loss
And to get out for your own sake

[Chorus]
(You try so hard to stay)
But never heal the pain inflicted everyday
(What if you break away?)
Blunt the force of weapons that are all at play
(Alright to run away)
Though the choice of leaving feels the hardest
(Just try to run away)
Find the path that leads you to your harvest

[Verse 2]
Shouldn’t it be that thinking
Is not clouded by
Manipulating forces of blame?
Bitterness and fatigue
Stunted plans, freedom lost
Topped with dirt all thrown on your name
Naturally your instincts
Tell you to fight or fly
But in this case fighting won’t do
The strength of escape
Lifeline most dignified
Flip the script on what you’ve been through

[Chorus]
(You try so hard to stay)
But never heal the pain inflicted everyday
(What if you break away?)
Blunt the force of weapons that are all at play
(Alright to run away)
Though the choice of leaving feels the hardest
(Just try to run away)
Find the path that leads you to your harvest
