Runaway Child

[Intro] (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah) [Verse 1] The forest breathes in shades of blue, A language only foxes knew. I tied my sorrows to a stone, And let it sink where echoes groan. Oh, the earth is soft and old, It sings my name in voices cold. [Pre-Chorus] But the wind said, "Darling, run— The sky is grieving for the sun. Take the road of twisted thorn, Where the lost ones are reborn." [Chorus] Run, runaway child, The wild is calling you for miles. Dance with the shadows, light and thin, Let the storm pull you in. Oh, the moon will wear your face, And the wolves will know your name... [Verse 2] I slept inside a hollow tree, Where the spiders spun my dreams for me. They wrote my fate in silver thread, "A heart too heavy won’t be fed." Oh, the rain kissed my skin, Told me, "Child, begin again." [Bridge] And if I vanish like the dew, Promise you’ll remember too— The way the river used to sound, When my feet left the ground... [Chorus] Run, runaway soul, The night is hungry, sharp, and whole. Bare your teeth to the howling dark, Let it taste your spark. Oh, the stars will blink and stare, But you’re already air... [Outro] Now the dawn is just a sigh, A tear left in the reaper’s eye. And the world? It’s just a tune— Played by the lonely, dying moon...
