Run Away Where We Are

I want to run away.

Why does ordinary have to be reality? 

I wish I were insane.

Logical thoughts hold me back.

Why do I have to be a good kid? 

It would be so much easier 

If I didn't care.

I wish I didn't care. 

I want to run away

But everything holds me back. 

I can only escape

Into the grotto of my mind 

But it's lonely up there.

I want to share it with you.

Should I share it?

Please be my escape.

Can we run away together

Right where we are?
