She walks these empty streets alone
Hiding from something they call "home"
Hoping to find some peace of mind
Sometimes we
need to walk alone
She is set on running away
Though her mom was yelling she must stay
A wind beaten bird for reasons
unheard
Sometimes it is best to run away
So fly away, fly away, fly away
Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, fly
away
Some wear their bruises on their skin
Others hide their scars deep within
She has a wound close to her womb
Blames
herself for letting it in
So fly away, fly away, fly away
Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, fly away
But She's afraid, she's
afraid, she's afraid
Anyway
See those eyes, see those eyes, see those eyes
Hate and lies, a fire that slowly dies
But She will
fly, she will fly, she will fly
Before it dies
Sometimes the hands that feed
Must feed a mind with a sick need
And the
hands that clutch can be
The same hands that touch too much
Eyes that hungrily stare
Read in an access that's not there
While
eyes close to hide tears
Or look away in fear
Run away!
Passing the open stores
Hiding her dirty sores
Seeking asylum
among freaks and whores
What wouldn't she give to be in a society
Not learning the eyes to be closed but to see
Now she bites
the words
"Never"
She kicks the ground
"Never"
Swallows her tears
"Never will I go back"
She hits the walls
"Leave
me!"
Scratches herself
"Leave me!"
Begs to all Gods
"Rip me from this sick flesh!"
"I will always be
there"
"No!"
She holds her ears
"You know that I love you"
Pretends that she doesn't hear
"We're in this together"
"We
share the same skin"
Panic in his voice now
"Free us from sin"
"Tell me that you love me"
This is the end
"I know that
you do"
Of her way
Never ever again
Follow me down
"God forgive this hunger"
"Please mommy see"
"Never tell a
soul"
"Is it me?"
A child will love its parents
Will follow them down
She swears to the pavement's heart of stone
That
these city lights will be her home
But still as they burn she will return
Back to the adults. . . of her home.
