The Runaway / Experience |
He is the runaway, Lie low the wanted man |
Mask his elusive face, Soon he will getaway and free is his |
future no more aimless time to spend |
And evading, he’s escaping |
Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. |
Run in the Underwood, Cover and hide the trail |
Senses like sharpened sword, Guards for the shadow on his |
tail. |
And yet his joy is empty and sad. |
All thoughts are scarred with the prison cell and freedom |
seems like freedom’s hell |
Hopes stained with strange regret, His dreams are dreams |
for that he cannot get. |
And yet his joy is empty and sad. |
Lose all identity, Vanish in own denial |
Seeks only lies and hide, Truth never brought to trial. |
And caught in his own net, he looks to find endless life and |
evading, he’s escaping |
Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. |
Run in the Underwood, Cover and hide the trail |
Senses like sharpened sword, Guards for the shadow on his |
tail. |
2. Experience |
Once I was a boy, an innocent to life and my role in it, |
This world played my game, and anyone a clown or foil for |
myself |
The harmless affairs, and no-one seemed to care for any |
meaning |
My life was my own, The debt I paid, I paid it only to |
myself |
The unseeing youth, how can it be so shallow and short- |
sighted |
These years passed me by, to realise the folly of these unripe |
years |
Now I am a man, I realise |
My unworldly sins pained many lives |
Yet I heard, heard with ears that wouldn’t listen |
And still I watched and I saw with blinkered eyes |
But with age the conscience slowly dawns and bonds of |
duty gently tied |
All my sins, seen through now there is experience and |
recollecting act in virgin guise. |
Master inner voices, making the choices |
Once I could rebel and consequences then had no reflection |
And I am a man, And I am bound by adult age discretion |
now |
