Runaway Lyrics by Treistemm

Inflorescence

2020

[Verse 1]
A bird can't fly in a cage
You can’t live your life that way
Sometimes the only thing left is to runaway

A car can't drive out of gas
You can't live your life that fast
You tried to run but you fell flat on the grass

I think I’m lost in a fantasy
Your love is my ecstasy
Lose our love and I lost my mind
And sanity is so hard to find

[Pre-Chorus]
I slur when I talk, and then I fall when I walk
And I don't know when to stop, and I wish that I would drop
And I would fall right back into a better me
Before my own brain was my own enemy

[Chorus]
Runaway, runaway
To a better day, where we felt okay
Runaway, runaway, runaway

Runaway to a better day
Where every day just felt okay
Runaway, runaway, runaway

[Verse 2]
We are aliens with an alias
In a stadium feeling shakiness
We are scaring them, they are scaring us
Where do we begin, blowing off the dust

Insert the cartridge, the game has started
We are both aliens but I'm so heartless
Pardon my parting from your apartment
Our love is carnage, it's time to stop this

Your angel dust fills my heart with lust
And the changes must remain untouched
My head is gushing, my face is blushing
My head is rushing like a concussion

[Bridge]
I slur when I talk, and then I fall when I walk
And I don't know when to stop, and I wish that I would drop
And I would fall right back into a better me
Before my own brain was my own enemy

[Chorus]
Runaway, runaway
To a better day, where we felt okay
Runaway, runaway, runaway

Runaway to a better day
Where every day just felt okay
Runaway, runaway, runaway

[Outro]
A bird can't fly in a cage
You can't live your life that way
Sometimes the only thing left is to runaway

A car can't drive out of gas
You can’t live your life that fast
You tried to run but you fell flat on the grass
I think I’m lost in a fantasy
