Run Away

The bruises on your arms and face
Shine like warning sirens
Of a night spent in agony
And the shortness of your breath
Can mean but one thing
Life is living hell
Each night you come home
Slip in through the door
Your father asleep
Your mother awake
All is alright, for now

Run away
Run from the terror
Run on through the night
Into my arms
Run away
Run from the rage
Run from what was never home
And find your true home
In my arms

Unbeknownst to all
The torment lives
You cannot escape
But to my waiting embrace
Alas so far away
Last night you came home
Your mother asleep
Your father awake
And your body battered
Black with pain

Run away
Run from the terror
Run on through the night
Into my arms
Run away
Run from the rage
Run from what was never home
And find your true home
In my arms

Get out
Run now
Escape
Into the world
Find me
Hold me
Love me
Let me be your light
Be your light

Run away
Run from the terror
Run on through the night
Into my arms
Run away
Run from the rage
Run from what was never home
And find your true home
In my arms
Run into the light
