As I Fled From Home
Run, run, run away
Run 'til you reach a brand new day
Far from the prison you call your home
Where fists and screams have broken your bones
Cry, cry, cry away
Cry 'til you run out of words to say
Drain your body from all the tears
Don't let it be buried under all that fear
Scream, scream, scream away
Scream to those who has to pay
The monster in your house isn't dying soon
So close your eyes and hear them croon
Fight, fight, fight away
Fight until your body lays
Down on the ground of your kitchen floor
As the bruises on your body keeps adding more
Win, win, win away
Win 'til the monsters are of nay
Leave the terror in your home
And go on and face the world alone
Forget about the time when you were beat
With the slaps and the kicks and all those hits
By the people who were supposed to love you most
Who said that your life has a cost
Do not remember when you were mocked
Or the space in the closet where you were locked
It was dark, you remember, and you could not see
That it was pointless to try and escape free
Do not dwell on the time your parents were
Acting like their love was so, so pure
Take my advice and now go flee
Lonely, but happy, you will be
