Away from Here
Itchy Poopzkid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on the run
I'm running 'til I meet the end of fun
Don't ask me where I'll go
My direction is unknown
Find something else
And one more time I'm talking to myself
Just like I always do
All I know is that I won't ever turn if stay where I am

I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot stop until I find the light
Along the sun
Along the pain
Until the real me remains
I cannot wait
I cannot rest
I cannot hide I need to make progress
Across the hills
Across the sea
Because I need to be
Away from here

Turn on the light
Embarrassing how it's all black and white
Don't blow my cover now
Better keep my plans for me
I laugh out loud
So noone here will ever start to doubt
If I am as happy as it seems
And now I take my pride and I swallow it slowly to hide

I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot stop until I find the light
Along the sun
Along the pain
Until the real me remains
I cannot wait
I cannot rest
I cannot hide I need to make progress
Across the hills
Across the sea
Because I need to be
Away from here

I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot stop until I find the light
Along the sun
Along the pain
Until the real me remains
I cannot wait
I cannot rest
I cannot hide I need to make progress
Across the hills
Across the sea




Because I need to be
Away from here
