Runaway from Absolute Characters by Radical Centrists

I fell a lot in my life
I'm falling more
I'm pressed against the floor
(Yeah yeah yeah)

I've been alone in this life
With drugs hardcore
I'm constantly at war
(Yeah yeah yeah)

I've been looking myself in the mirror
And all I see is failure
Haven't been doing much
I'm just waiting for the phone
To ring to bring my savior

I've been isolated for a long time
Haven't seen the light and everything is dark
Haven't been outside not even to the park
Everything is flat and can't ignite a spark

I’m constantly drowning in pain
That's why I got a needle and a bag of cocaine
I have been praying for a better day to come
But I don't see the sun and it's still fucking raining

Got nasty pictures in my head
And voices that said that I am better off being dead
Look this is what I have become
A braindead man feeling numb
Being society’s scum

I ain't got no job
I aint got no friends
I ain't got no fam and no ambitions

I ain't got no cash
I ain't got no guts
Just blaming everything instead of throwing a punch

Why bother be like this?
Why the fuck be me?
When I can just live in a fantasy

Come on give me that powder
Come on give me those pills
'Cos I need something to make me chill
Come on!

I'm running away from a place
A place where I was born to stay

I'm falling in love with a fantasy
Where nothing is at stake

I'm running away from the past
Nothing good can ever last

I was my friend but now my enemy
How could it change so fast?

Every day is a constant fight
I need to fill up dopamine so I can feel right
Finding new ways of getting high
So I can have a chance of feeling alive

Thinking back to the days of a broken home
Being raised by narcotics and alcohol
Abused by the ones that should have given me love
As a secondhand thing
That's the way I was born

I was thrown out of Eden’s garden
So now I'm down under breathing in sulfur and carbon
Feet stuck in the quicksand with a chopped hand
Being a man that's always been starving

Always have terrible luck
So I say what the fuck and gave it all up (Haw!)

No wonder that I am so sick
When I have been on one of the roughest trips

You don’t understand what I have been through
You think everybody has a life like you

I need to pull my pants up then get some help
Then get a fucking job to pay my rent

But when I approach everybody disappears
The world has hated me for all these years

So I pop a pill to go to a new dimension
And escape every stupid intervention

I'm going to heaven away from here
Where pain is dead and so is fear

The light is coming, it's getting clear
Let reality crumble and disappear

Runaway

I'm not giving up this fight (No!)
No matter what feels right
Tired of living in a square
Of living in a square

I said I'm not giving up this fight (No!)
No matter what feels right
Tired of being in despair
Of being in despair

I say I'm putting everything away
You caught me like a prey
I'm so tired of you controlling me
You've been in control of it all
But now my soul ain't for sale

I say you play me like a game
Making me insane
Putting me on pause in society
But I'm gonna be the saint
And put the rain on the lake of flames to return my sanity

I'm running away from a place
A place where I was born to stay

I'm falling in love with a fantasy
Where nothing is at stake

I'm running away from the past
Nothing good can ever last

I was my friend but now my enemy
How could it change so fast?
