Midnight Run

(verse 1)

I'm running away from

the things that keep me up continuously at night

I'm not a kid, yet I'm not an adult

but I'm left alone with my hurt

I don't like violent confrontation

but in this perilous situation

I'm making a final stand

making fists out of my two hands

always looking out for others

but no one ever has to look out for me

the smoke of the past cinders smothers

but outside the night air is clean

I could really use a friend

but this looks like the end

my child self grabs my present hand

woah, woah, woah

(chorus)

Mom, Dad, I'm doing everything I can

everyone I promise that I'll win

and be stronger as a result

(midnight run)

the scary monsters hidden underneath my bed

the skeletons in the closet in my head

scare me no more

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

sunflowers are the harbinger of the season

it's summer, thank God

books on tape and religious chants are the reason

it's all that I had

I'm walking barefoot on black rose thorns

my weapon is self-love instead of scorn

sadness dies and blooms happiness

woah, woah, woah

(chorus)

big brother and little sister

depression's a person and I can't resist her

she hugs and won't let go

(midnight run)

there are a couple things that I've come to know

I'll keep sprinting on this yellow-bricked road

midnight run

(end chorus)

(chorus)

midnight run

Mom, Dad, I'm doing everything I can

everyone I promise that I'll win

and be stronger as a result

(midnight run)

the scary monsters hidden underneath my bed

the skeletons in the closet in my head

scare me no more

big brother and little sister

depression's a person and I can't resist her

she hugs and won't let go

(midnight run)

there are a couple things that I've come to know

I'll keep sprinting on this yellow-bricked road

midnight run

midnight run

midnight run

(end chorus)
