~ Running on Empty!~

~Running on Empty~

Running on empty,

What can I do?

Running on empty

No where to go to,

Running on empty,

Everything just looks so dark,

And gloomy and like you just

Won’t ever have some place

Safe to go,

Rent a U-haul

and quietly leave,

In the middle of the night

Take the new name,

And the new love (self-love)

And start a new life,

Some place where I can

Finally be free, (she tells herself)

Finally be happy,

And not petrified of answering

The telephone,

Or going outside alone.

You have to take the New Name

And start a New life,

Some place away from here,

Some place else in the city

If you cant afford to relocate

Out of here.

Quickly now just finish

What you need to get done,

Before it’s to late.’

Living in the Witness protection

Program, because that is the only

way to ever have a free life again.

To be on my own,

With the family I love

In safety,

In a new home,

But that hope is just a dream.

Running on empty

What can I say,

Running on empty

What can I do?

Running on empty

What else is there to do?

Running on empty!
