Like a Runaway Slave Lyrics

Dirty hair falls down
Covers up my face
As you listen to me talk
Like a runaway slave
This is the person I became
With my innocence erased
Just a pictured carved from paint
I'm on display

This way of living was so beautiful
Where no one knows my name
Where nothing stays the same
I could fall asleep
On this lonesome stage
As I listen to the night
I feel high and afraid

So you ask if I am awake
Because they're closing the gates
Just a circus tiger caged
I've grown so ashamed
This way of living was so beautiful
Where no one knows my name
Where nothing stays the same
Where nothing stays the same
Where nothing stays the same

Now I remember them
But don't recall their names
New York City bound
Bulbs explode and dissipate
