runaway
thanks to sophie

do you cross your legs in the morning when you think of me?
did you ever watch the news? I think that story was on tv
all about the girls who bang their wrists & then disappear so quickly
did you think I'd find her eventually? well obviously not
but I won't let that be our song [I'm too far gone to twist that plot]
you fed me on little clues & shiny truths & studio art
maybe I need a lover who brews her schemes up in a different pot

alone
please leave me alone.

I see your ghost outside every time I see the sun
if she said / if I did / if he didn't - I can't swallow that shit, it's just some
poor defense against your fugitive's delirium
I'm doing everything within my reach just to prove that you were wrong
don't say I held you hostage, baby, you've already run away down along
the interstate of red armed bliss that leads to every single song
where I clench my fists and bear down hard until all my words are gone

alone
you've run away from home.
