The Escape Artist

By Laura Dee October 24, 2014 When I was 5 I used to fantasize About the girl I was inside But I pushed it under a disguise Tangled up in lies where I could always hide So I just ran away that day... When I was only 10 immersed myself in sin Just for my friend, a boy at camp He could call his boyfriend until the bitter end Send me on a path, he was the stamp Instead I just ran away... Then a slower dance brought me a new romance The girls could really move their hips Penetrate me with a glance and leave me in a trance I really loved to move their lips I f***ing ran away again... When I was 25 I turned to stone inside How I wished I just was gay But then she came inside with no where left to hide And the demons came my way Then I ran away again and again... So now I come outside of the lines Two steps away from the caution signs And now i stay in a volatile place It's ok if they say it's a damn disgrace So now I'm running away again From all I've ever known All I've known...
