Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
[Verse 2]
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
[Verse 3]
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
[Verse 4]
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna run away
And never say goodbye
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away
[Verse 6]
I'm gonna run away
And never wonder why
Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna run away
And open up my
Mind (Gonna run away, gonna run away)
Mind (Gonna run away, gonna run away)
Mind (Gonna run away, gonna run away)
Mind (Gonna run away, gonna run away)
[Verse 8]
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
[Verse 9]
I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind
