Absent Minded
runaway tag
When you told me
that he was going to kill me
and you wer ein no position to get away
and i should do whatever it took to save myself
i thought of the game of runaway tag
and when i was safe
i would find a third or fourth party to tell you it was time for you to slide
to run away too
and i would be there to help you
to get away too
for i had pulled through
and eventually after they had helped you they would have to help us
get the others out
out of the chemical warfare of Edson
and when the world was done playing runaway tag
then what?
but this is how i remember we had that conversation
because i had a plan to get you out after i was safe
im sorry i left to runa way
and i dont know if anyone ever cam eto you to say jump that fence and slide away
but just maybe
i praid for it or tried
indirectly
subtly but i tried
Runaway tag
my turn is over
do u need to slide?
do u need to slide
I'm here now
i will help you idf u need to get away we can go to gether
we can go together
and then find ways to help those
that never got away
and find a place for them to runa way to
how else do u set up the new witness protection program
when our was never there?
i thought these things because you said i should leave out the back
and i ende dup losing myself
somewher eou there in th emidst of strangers looking for those ic ould trust
i found a fe wi could
but life has changed soo much
i dont know how anymore id play this runaway game
but im still open
im still open
aheat score i suppose
but the runaway game of tag
one day I'll run off to LA to lose my mind
and tell someone it's their turn to run away and come back home
to set up the witness protection program so we can be safe from being vicrtoms of chemical warfare
but soo far as i scream this injustice no ones listening
but i picture you
in this smal town jumping your backyard fence
running to a friend shouse and hidin gunder their bed
and tellign them to runa way and thewy have somewhere or nowhere to go
becaus ethe world choser to runa way
and i am soo far away trying to find ways to lead you one by one blindly to safety
so slide if you must
slide again when the time comes
and play runa way tag
and when i can ill be oceans apart
paying who i acan what favor
to come into your life with a riddle of how to get to me
to start over and escape the runaway game
i guwess its just a tourist trap anyaway as we all seem to shine and fade!
that he was going to kill me
and you wer ein no position to get away
and i should do whatever it took to save myself
