Lyrics:

She walks these empty streets alone

Hiding for something they call "home"

Hoping to find some peace of mind

Sometimes we need to walk alone



She is set on running away

Though her mom was yelling she must stay

A wind beaten bird for reasons unheard

Sometimes it is best to run away



So fly away, fly away, fly away

Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, fly away



Some wear their bruises on their skin

Others hide their scars deep within

She has a wound close to her womb

Blames herself for letting it in



So fly away, fly away, fly away

Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, fly away

But She's afraid, she's afraid, she's afraid

Anyway

See those eyes, see those eyes, see those eyes

Hate and lies, a fire that slowly dies

But She will fly, she will fly, she will fly

Before it dies



Sometimes the hands that feed

Must feed a mind with a sick need

And the hands that clutch can be

The same hands that touch too much

Eyes that hungrily stare

Read in an access that's not there

While eyes close to hide tears

Or look away in fear

Run away!



Passing the open stores

Hiding her dirty sores

Seeking asylum among freaks and whores

What wouldn't she give to be in a society

Not learning the eyes to be closed but to see



Now she bites the words

"Never"

She kicks the ground

"Never"

Swallows her tears

"Never will I go back"

She hits the walls

"Leave me!"

Scratches herself

"Leave me!"

Begs to all Gods

"Rip me from this sick flesh!"



"I will always be there"

"No!"

She holds her ears

"You know that I love you"

Pretends that she doesn't hear

"We're in this together"

"We share the same skin"

Panic in his voice now

"Free us from sin"



"Tell me that you love me"

This is the end

"I know that you do"

Of her way

Never ever again

Follow me down



"God forgive this hunger"

"Please mommy see"

"Never tell a soul"

"Is it me?"

A child will love its parents

Will follow them down



She swears to the pavement's heart of stone

That these city lights will be her home

But still as they burn she will return

Back to the adults. . . of her home.
