M.I.A Lyrics by Ryan Oakes

MASS HYSTERIA

2021

Late-night driving, somebody tell me where to go
When I hit a dead end and I'm worried I might run out of road
I feel like I've run forever in the same place
They wrote me off, I'm starting to erase
And I'm thinking I'm just a familiar face that
All my friends seems to misplace

You don't know all the things I'd do to just let go

I'm falling up and I think I might drown
I been thinking of running away
Following my heart
And going MIA
I'm flipping my life upside down
I thought that my only way out
Was running stuck in place
I'm going MIA

Red-eye flight to a valley on a different coast
I got nothing else with me but a suitcase full of all of my clothes
The second I saw nobody would be coming to save me
I packed my bags and they tried to detain me
I took that leap without seeing a safety net
And landed in a field of daisies

You don't know all the things you'd
Do, helped me let go

I'm falling up and I think I might drown
I been thinking of running away
Following my heart
And going MIA
I'm flipping my life upside down
I thought that my only way out
Was running stuck in place
I'm going MIA

Feel lost and get higher
How much longer can a lighter
Take all my problems away?
I'm going MIA
Feel lost and get higher
How much longer can a lighter
Take all my problems away?
I'm going MIA
