[Intro]
(You did good $lick)
(It's a smash)
(l-l-l-lonely boy)
[Refrain]
I been runnin' away
I been runnin' away
I been runnin' away
I been runnin' away
No, there ain't no escape
No, there ain't no escape
No, there ain't no escape, no
[Chorus]
Long nights, lungs tight
All I know, something ain't right
New high, same flight
On a one-way to my gravesite
Paranoid, fill the void
With some chemicals that I should avoid
Body numb, on the run
No matter where I go, no escaping nothin', yeah
[Verse]
Run until I'm out of breath
Run until nobody left
Run until my body dead
The worst shit runnin' through my head
Loved one's runnin' through my bread
My whole life been run on meds
Runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin', runnin' 'til the bones show
All I know the hard road
Posted at my crib, still I'm hardly ever home though
Spark me up a Marlboro to light up my dark world
It get hard to sleep when you scared to see tomorrow
Yeah, fix my face like I ain't scared
But I fall apart when nobody there
The older I get, the more I see my dad
The older he get, the more it make me sad, fuck
When he die, it's gon' break me bad
Filled with regrets and I wish I had's
Text say, "I love you, please call me, son," yeah
Dad, I wish I could, but I'm on the run
[Chorus]
Long nights, lungs tight
All I know, something ain't right
New high, same flight
On a one-way to my gravesite
Paranoid, fill the void
With some chemicals that I should avoid
Body numb, on the run
No matter where I go, no escaping nothin', yeah
[Refrain]
I been runnin' away
I been runnin' away
I been runnin' away
No, there ain't no escape
No, there ain't no escape
No, there ain't no escape, no
[Outro]
And I knew that was your journey to take in the beginning
And I could see you wanted it and you were hungry and I knew you were gonna make it somehow
But I told you that from the beginning
So, there you are, and uh, I just miss the fuck out of you, man
I want some more of me talking with you and, and not having a phone up your ass and half listening to me and half on the phone and
It's just tough to watch, you know?
I hate seeing you having that kind of load
It reminds me of myself when I used to work
