Nowhere to Run
Roy Lyrics

I'm a rabbit on fire
I am filled with intense emotions and passion

on fire with mascared eyes
My eyes are filled with tears from the pain and sadness

I'm a white rat acquired
I am a helpless victim taken in and used for experiments

by the lab
I am under the control and manipulation of the scientific institution

I'm due to be shot
I am destined to be subjected to harmful tests

shot with experiment
I will be subjected to experiments and their consequences

waiting in line
I am patiently enduring the inevitable fate

for the next stab
for the next round of painful procedures

I've got nowhere to run to
I have no escape or refuge

I've got nowhere to go
There is no destination or purpose for me

and no way of telling you
I lack the means to communicate and express

that none of you know
That none of you truly understand

I burn in hellfire
I suffer intensely and relentlessly

kept alive in my deathbed
I am trapped in a state of existence that resembles death

I'm a monkey with wire
I am forcefully controlled and manipulated

in my head
My thoughts and actions are influenced and constrained

I can't touch my face
I am restricted from experiencing normal human sensations

rub my eyes or hear anything
My ability to perceive and sense the world is impaired

suspended twixt
Caught in the limbo between

living and dead
Existence but devoid of vitality

they say I don't know
Others claim that I am unaware and ignorant

but I live under pressure
Yet, I withstand immense stress and strain

showing great symptons
Demonstrating clear signs

of breakdown and fracture
of mental and emotional collapse

If I (RH) had my way
If I had control and influence

I'd be in there today
I would take action immediately

turn the voltage on you
I would subject you to the same pain and suffering

burn you down
Inflict significant harm upon you

with the whole of your school
Including everyone in your institution

with your lessons on how
Through your teachings that emphasize

to dismiss others' feelings
Ignoring and disregarding the emotions of others

while feeling that you're
While believing that you are

always ever so kind
Always presenting yourself as compassionate

never cruel
But never exhibiting cruelty

but that's you
That is your nature

only you
No one else but you

of all us creatures on earth
Among all living beings on this planet

that could only be you
Only you possess these qualities and behaviors

if only you cared
If you only showed empathy and compassion

not to kill not to torture
Choosing not to cause harm or inflict pain

not to need to cause pain
Not having a desire to bring about suffering

fear and suffering
Terror and anguish

to be cool
In order to maintain a certain image or reputation

you'd have all the friends
You would gain the genuine companionship

and the ends and the means
And both the desired outcomes and the methods

to live with the give
To live harmoniously with empathy

and the fox in the glove
To coexist peacefully with nature

on this jewel
On this precious planet

but that's you
But unfortunately, that is only you

only you
No one else but you

of all us creatures on earth
Among all living beings on this planet

that could only be you
Only you possess these qualities and behaviors

you're the mournful red eye
You embody sorrow and sadness

of the dog in the cage
Similar to a confined and suffering dog

the howl of despair
The desperate cry of hopelessness

from the pound
Emanating from an animal shelter

forsaken forgotten
Abandoned and left behind

the live definition
The embodiment or representation

the sad lonely meaning
The melancholic and isolated significance

of hound
Of a domesticated dog

and you've got nowhere to run to
You have no escape or salvation

nowhere to go
No destination or purpose awaits you

and no way of telling me
And lack the means to express to me

that this isn't so
That this reality is not true

for some of us know
Because there are those who understand

and will always care to do so
And will always have the compassion to acknowledge it
