I'm Gonna Run

from From the Noise by Levi Stevenson

lyrics

The once upon a timers
The reason and the rhymers
Tryin' hard to tell me what to do
They're through with realizing
Their way of fantasizing
Is going out and buying
Something new
Deep down in the stillness
Broken hearts and illness
Runnin' through their veins like a dose
Rakes and shovels
Up against the hovels
Never gonna find
The treasure trove

I'm gonna run
You can't catch me
I might be the one
You never see
Feels so auspicious
But I get suspicious
Especially when the lights
Are turned down low
Write a shorter sentence
Get a new apprentice
Never tell them
Everything you know
I don't need a callback
I don't have a six-pack
Least not the kind you cannot drink
Failed at mind reading
Despite very careful breeding
and I don't give a damn what you think

Dreamed I was the winner
Made it to the dinner
Everyone was wasted
In the end
Leave a neon label
Glowing on the table
Wrap it like a package
You will send
Write me a postcard
Tell me you tried hard
I'm your one and only friend
Don't tell me that you owe me
Cause I know you'll only
Find a way to break instead of bend
I'm gonna run...

Walked through streets that I realized I'd already seen many times before in my dreams… And when I got home, I was able to separate the music from the noise. ... more
