Runaways

Sage Francis

(Sage Francis)

It's time to rethink every fact that is imaginable

Survival instinct dwells in a past that is inhabitable

I happen to pull fast ones over the slow parole board

Who likes to speak to de-fanged wolves who cry sheep

Time seeps into our skin, age indicates how long we've been lost in space

I keep putting expression looks upon my face

An awful waste of human skin who waits for Autumn to begin

While far from grace, will do me in to late

(I'm out of seasoning)

No spring chickens, summer romance novel writer could win a prize

It's Nobel, go to hell in a riding vehicle that he winterized

I change my mind more often then my undergarments

Abide abortion and other nonsense

I'm an orphan who comes from Providence

I am assigned from God! For the parentally misguided



(And I know...)

State is not an ocean, not an island, not a road

If I don't know where I come from

How do I know where to go?

It's not where you're from, not where you're at

It's where your going... and I am going home

(And I know...)

State is not an ocean, not an island, not a road

If I don't know where I come from

How do I know where to go?

It's not where you're from, not where you're at

It's where your going... and I am going home...



...to where? The land of the lost souls

Feeling a loneliness that really only exists in abandoned foster homes

How many images of missing kids can be fit onto a milk carton?

Framed, they're starting to look the same

Starting to say his name, and claim privileges

As if they found HIM!

The strangest little kids surrounding the circle of false friendship

Rings of fire are connected at the elbow

Cause they're tired, moms unexpectedly let go

The Velcro light component that keeps there unit cohesive

It's the music! So we give reasons to get sober

Life experiences to hum to

These kids play Red Rover? I look for weaknesses to run through

With reckless abandon, they're standin
