Running away running away

Running away running away

Running away

Running away running away

Running away running away

Running away

Running away running away

Running away running away

Running away

Running away running away

Running away running away

Running away

Running away running away

Running away running away

Running away

Running away running away

Running away running away

Running away

Running away running away

Running away running away

Running away

Running away running away

Running away running away

Running away

No where to hide no where to go

I'm looking to find I don't even know

Look in my eyes to look at my soul

The pressure is rising fitting to blow

Will I survive or will I erode

I don't even know

I'm locked in a cage I built on my own

I'm ready to face a similar clone

A smile on his face but heart is of stone

He's trying to stay I want him to go

But if he's away I won't have a home

Pride has been my partner

For as long as I can remember

Or so I thought

Which also means I've been dealing with insecurity

For as long as I can remember

I remember as a child telling other kids

Constant petty lies

Just so I could feel like I belonged somewhere

In middle school of course I like to the kids

About my virginity

I'm sure a a lot of us were lying but

That's my point exactly like

Why is it that we all felt like our authentic selves

Like just wasn't enough

Like we didn't have enough to offer

Like who told us that just because we was different

We didn't hold value like

Honestly I have no clue

But I refuse to live in a way where

I always end up the loser just because I'm different

Like that's dead as hell

But I give pride it's credit

It protected me from rejection the best it could

Over the years

But only if I would've knew like

I was rejecting myself in more ways than I

Could possibly imagine

Without my pride

I know I'll be naked for the rest of the world to see

And I'm sure is going get cold at times

But it's ok because I know that

Freedom isn't having nothing wrong with you

It's having nothing to hide
