Isle of Tranquility

Runaway

One day I thought I had enough of life
and decided to runaway
So kissed my dreaming kids, glimpsed my sleeping wife
closed the door behind silently, for I had nothing to say.

The first steps seemed like eternity
I felt my legs weigh a million tonne
Battling my mind, i crushed the flashbacks
and with a mind now blank, I began to run.

Which place to go, well I didn't care,
So I boarded a train to nowhere
and the train rambled, its whistle blaring all along the way
I didn't care, all I wanted was to runaway.

Through the windows,
the cool summer breeze caressed my face
In the ecstacy of freedom I dive,
away from the tortures, the expectations and disgrace
in a new incarnation I hope to survive.

Now no moral burdens I would carry
no more social obligations to follow
with only my heart and soul to marry
I'll breakaway from the painful emotions so hollow.

as the carefree clouds I drift, I float
and my heart consumed with a satisfying gloat
the peace is yogic, feels like a trance
but suddenly glare the spotlights in a hypnotic prance.

And a loud shriek of whistle slams me back to life
where i would descend down the train
walk through the familiar path, through the streets and twisted lane.

Yes sir, that's for you the enslaving life
where enter me house after a tiry work day
to find kids dreaming and a sleeping wife,
I wish... I could really runaway.
