Running Away
Maverick Sabre Lyrics

Lost in a grave
Feeling trapped and alone, like being stuck in a grave

Concrete tower blocks
Surrounded by towering and oppressive concrete buildings

This rain don't seem to stop
The constant troubles and difficulties never seem to end

I'm trapped in these chains
Feeling stuck and powerless, as if held captive by chains

Stalking queues for drugs
Falling into addiction and resorting to waiting in lines for drugs

I know that I ain't far now
Despite feeling lost and stuck, there is still hope for change

I pray for a change
Wishing for things to get better through prayer or other means

But a change don't seem to come
Despite the hoping and praying, things continue to stay the same

Man, my faith don't feel enough, no
Even with faith and hope, doubt and fear can still creep in

'Cause this ain't what I want to hear
Disappointed with the way things are, wishing for something better

And I never thought this life would be like this, no
Feeling disillusioned and surprised at how hard and difficult life can be

Running away, I need to escape, far
Desperately feeling the need to escape and start over somewhere new

Got to get away from here
Leaving the current situation and environment behind to seek a better life

None of my friends, speak
Feeling isolated and alone, without support from friends

Say words don't mean a thing
Feeling like no one understands or cares, and that words of encouragement are meaningless

They told us not to dream
Feeling discouraged and stifled by others' lack of belief in their dreams and aspirations

See behind that fear
Encouraging oneself to push past fear and obstacles

Just won't stop teaching us
Feeling like society and the system are constantly trying to bring us down and prevent our success

That were not good enough
Feeling like no matter how hard we try, we will never be enough or measure up to expectations

You don't feel this pain, in the clouds
Feeling like others who are in a better place or position cannot understand the pain and struggles of those who are suffering

Cause you're so far away
Being unable to relate or understand the hardships of someone else because of differences in circumstance
