Thanks guys for the support and comments with Jaded, both online and IRL, it is a great help and gives me a warm feeling inside that can only be matched by chocolate fudge brownies (now that’s saying something). I’ve being working on a few songs and wanted to post another. Please, tell me what you think, I love discussion and criticism (nothing nasty) and if I get enough support I’ll make this a recurring series.
Note: Anyone new to this should have a look at Jaded, I explain the premise of Silent Music there.
Anyway, I started this song after reading a story being created on the site fanfiction.net called Glamorous Indie Rock and Roll (I feel I just lost a lot of respect from some people with that sentence). It’s a brilliant story that is really coming along. For anyone interested, I’ll link the story at the end of the post. And so, here is Runaway…
We need to make a break
Need to make an escape
There is a world out there
For us to take
Outside of this life
Of anger and strife
We need to let loose
On the edge of a knife
Hitting the road on a count of
One two, one two three four
Runaway, we need to runaway
From the mundane
Runaway, we need to runaway
From this pain
We can leave tonight
Under the milky way
Retire to the light
Becoming runaways
Shedding our past
We need to act fast
This town’s killing me
I cannot last
Out there is freedom
The dreams we seldom
See in this prison
Of sin and boredom
Runaway, we need to runaway
From the mundane
Runaway, we need to runaway
From this pain
We can leave tonight
Under the milky way
Retire to the light
Becoming runaways
(instrumental)
It’s a comedy
This tragedy
A life trapped in
Emotional poverty
Runaway, we need to runaway
From the mundane
Runaway, we need to runaway
From this pain
All we can do is fight
This world in disarray
No destination in sight
Becoming runaways
Runaway, we need to runaway
From the mundane
Runaway, we need to runaway
From this pain
We can leave tonight
Under the milky way
Retire to the light
Becoming runaways
We need too break away
Us runaways
Thanks again for the support, be back soon.
