Runaway

Every time I paint a picture,

I feel I spill the beans,

My account shows perfection,

But it's not what it seems,

Elated and excited,

So many likes to prove,

But this digital mirror,

doesn't always show the truth

Just a shadow stuck in your way, runaway,

Caught up in the noise, where I won't stay,

Runaway, runaway,

From the life we portray

We're so divided,

In this chase for who we ought to be,

But the real me is hiding,

Behind a screen you can't see.

Caught up in the current,

Of trends and fleeting fame,

But I'm done pretending,

This isn't just a game

Just a shadow stuck in your way, runaway,

Caught up in the noise, where I won't stay,

Runaway, runaway,

From the life we portray

I'm walking away from the numbers,

From the flashes and the feed,

Trading all these filters,

For a life that's truly free

Just a shadow stuck in your way, runaway,

Caught up in the noise, where I won't stay,

Runaway, runaway,

From the life we portray
