Jachin McDonald - Run Away Lyrics

Paper rips on the table
But I keep writing, writing
My soul bleeds through my chest
But I still scream, I still scream
My hands are so unstable
But I keep fighting, fighting
My heart beats to the music
I compose in my dreams

Lost in the in-between
I'm so exhausted, my day's filled
With making believe
And magic carpets
I'm lost in my melodies
Just what I wanted, my songs are filled
With insecurities
That I wrestle with
I can't escape them
I can't escape them oh no
I can't escape them
No matter how far I go

I can't speak explicit
Like Pulp Fiction
I just beat around the bush
Now I'm lost inside
All my stupid pride
From those long nights that it took
Don't fit into crowds
It's just fake laughs and drinking
Everywhere I look
I'm so sick of everybody
Acting they okay
We know you ain't good
Why else would spend all your Friday nights
Binge drinking
Chasing your pain
We're so scared of taking
That leap of faith
So we freeze keep things the same
If you really want to feel
Whole again
Maybe fill the gap with something permanent
So you don't seesaw between getting high and then falling back to the ground again

I can't escape you
I can't escape you, oh no
I can't escape you
No matter how far I go

I can't run away from your love
No matter what I do
You pull me back to you
I can't run away from your love
I've never deserved it
I couldn't have earned it
