Run Away - Cam Meekins

Yeah

This ain’t a song, uh

Just let it run

Ay yo, I used to know a kid, he was the talk of the town

Everybody always said they love the way he get down

Everyone was counting on him, so he followed his dreams

Hit the gas when he was 18 to hop on the scene

He was a smart one, used to cop ounces to smoke

Growing up, this shit was easy cos' his life was a joke

Never paid to much attention to the chicks and shit

Cos' they was focused on the kids who had the whole package

He was more the type of kid to make a whole bunch of friends

But never really got close cos' his life was a mess

His parents weren’t around, they was out getting drunk

So at night he would write and sit there in a funk

He had a dark side, but even worse no one could know

That in-between all the drama it was taking a toll

Everything was catching up and he was super depressed

So he would pray to god at night to please stop this stress

I wanna run away, run away, run away

But I ain’t got nowhere to go

So help me slow it down god

Help me slow it down god

So a couple weeks past and he was doing alright

Started talking to this girl, about bout' his life

It was cool cos' she was kinda in the same position

She was new to the town and had someone to listen

They would go out after school and walk around at the pond

He even brought a guitar and said he wrote her a song

She was flattered, told him that she used to get battered

Something sparkled in her eye, he said «It doesn’t matter»

Imma' take you over anything the past is the past

They had the first kiss, he walked off and started to laugh

It was weird though, cos' given that she seemed stronger

Had some demons, but he new that she’d been managing longer

So he started falling back and saying «It was all good»

He didn’t wanna talk about it even though he should

He was afraid that she’d say that she had been through worse

That he’s a cry baby and everybody gon' get hurt

But still

I wanna run away, run away, run away

But I ain’t got nowhere to go

So help me slow it down god

Help me slow it down god

I wanna run away, run away, run away

But I ain’t got nowhere to go

So help me slow it down god

Help me slow it down god

But one night it was three in the morning and he had woken up

Opened up the curtain and he saw that it was dark as fuck

Snuck past his dad who had fallen asleep

Watching TV downstairs, drinking a cuppa bleach

He walked down to the basement, saw a cabinet

Looked around, laughed a bit, saw the gun, grabbed it

Ran down to the lake where he had hoped to see that see

That she had been there waiting for him, like she was supposed to be

She wasn’t there, so he got out his phone

And left a note that read «Why?

Why’d you leave me alone?»

As he walked toward the water, she was there like «Wait stop!»

It was too late, he said «I'm running away I can’t stop»

And he pulled the trigger…

The loud blast made her ears pop

She started crying and she said «Somebody call the cops!»

But when they got there they looked around the scene

And found two dead bodies, holding hands by the stream

They searched the bodies and they found a small CD

With this beat looped over and the cover said CMP
