I'd like to run away from home
Because I'm scared of growing holes in my skin
Yes I know - it's never ever gonna happen
That's why it's really not the sort of thing a crazy wouldn't sing
About

And I'm not a trypophobic
Who can't tell real life from photoshop
But lately I can't instruct my brain
To shut up, sit down and stop

Cerebral jitters for hours
And prozac before bed
I don't care about exams
I just want to clear my head

So I'll bring along my ipod
Oh wait! No charge ports to be seen!
Park my sleeping bag on Lantau beach
Or street-sleep in Aberdeen
I'm not 10 years old anymore
I know what must be done
And that everything will change
If I just run run run run run

I'd like to run away from home
Because I might actually be starting to gain weight
Yes I know - my BMI is far below
Average but I eat a lot and have the muscle
Strength of a cabbage

And I'm not an anorexic
Or obsessed with vanities
But lately it seems my lovely brain
Just wants to fuck with me

Cerebral jitters for hours
And prozac before bed
I don't care about exams
I just want to clear my head

So I'll bring along my ipod
Oh wait! No charge ports to be seen!
Park my sleeping bag on a Central curb
Or street-sleep in Aberdeen
I'm not 10 years old anymore
I know what must be done
And that everything will change
If I just run run run run run

I'd like to run away from home
Because it's all part of a plan
You see, I think I've found the key this time
To planning my demise

Yes, I know I'm a bad person
And that I deserve to die
But for some reason my selfish brain
Just wants to curl up and cry

So one of two things will happen:
I'll connect with nature and be well,
Or I'll demoralize myself
So much I'll take myself to hell

So I'll bring along my ipod
Oh wait! No charge ports to be seen!
Park my sleeping bag on a mountain's edge
Or street-sleep in Aberdeen
I'm not 10 years old anymore
I know what must be done
And that everything will change
If I just run run run run run

I know that everything will change
If I just run run run run run

It'll make for such a lovely change
If I just run run run run run
Since I suck at music theory, can't sing and can only play piano, anybody who's more musically competent than me and would be interested in working on an instrumentation for this song is welcome to send me a note.

One twelfth of my anthology for Magical Joey's competition, which I highly recommend y'all check out.

A song based on Run Run Run by The Velvet Underground. Enjoy!
