Runaway (From Myself) Songtext
von Citizen Soldier

I didn′t grow up in an abusive home, I am one
I've tried to leave this sour place a thousand times
From the start I made self-sabotage my anthem
Like being who I am is self-harm in disguise

′Cause something deep inside me's broken
I'm not allowed to feel a thing
Every loving word means nothing
I′m obsessed with suffering
Lately, thinking feels like cutting
Every thought′s a razor blade
(If only I had someone else to blame)

Wish I could run away
From myself, from myself
But there is no escape
When you're the prison cell
Wish I could run away
From myself, from myself
I plead for better days
But get thrown back in hell


Wish I could run away from myself
Wish I could run away from myself

Who the hell can forgive my sins? I wrote this gospel
Stuck in a cage of skin that always will remind me
That all the alcohol can′t numb this, I'm the bottle
Whoever changed just to kill this ghost will change my mind

Wish I could run away
From myself, from myself
But there is no escape
When you′re the prison cell
Wish I could run away
From myself, from myself
I plead for better days
But get thrown back in hell

Wish I could run away from myself
Wish I could run away


'Cause something deep inside me′s broken
I'm not allowed to feel a thing
Every loving word means nothing
I'm obsessed with suffering
Lately, thinking feels like cutting
Every thought′s a razor blade
If only I had someone else to blame

Wish I could run away
From myself, from myself
But there is no escape
When you′re the prison cell
Wish I could run away
From myself, from myself
I plead for better days
But get thrown back in hell

I didn't grow up in an abusive home, I am one
