Run Away
I want to run away
To a place where I belong
The tinsel town and dazzling lights
Have left my heart forlorn.
Like maggot that feed upon the flesh
They have fed upon my soul
Left none to waste
They carved out my woe-begotten dole
They chase me in my car
The paparazzi and media
I know not why I chose to be
This well sought out diva
I have a bed of gold
And food fit for a king
But I cannot sleep a wink
Or eat a single thing
The child in my heart
Painfully craves to be set free
Dark shadows now enclosing
The price was paid by me
