Scrutiny

Running away from scrutiny
Is this how life is supposed to be?

Trip and fall, fall to the floor
Pushing away all I can't ignore
Street lights that remind me
The choking grip of history

Running away from scrutiny
Is this how life is supposed to be?

Retreat and stay off the streets
A nation on the edge of defeat
Hold it steady
Wallowing is a luxury

In an age of hostility
A dream that is long past its peak
Hope I'm ready
For accepting reality

Is this gaze coming for me?
Planning my exit strategy
Trying to escape the
Charged air and shared despair

Running away from scrutiny
Is this how life is supposed to be?
Running away running away
Running away from scrutiny
