Here we go
Daddy's back to drinking
You hate to see it
When his demons start to sink in
It's getting harder
To tell him that you love him

Runaway, runaway castaway

Another soul, wasting in the gutter
Going hungry while your momma works the corner
It's getting harder
To tell her that you love her

Runaway, runaway castaway

Don't make deals with demons
Runaway castaway
You're so close to freedom
Runaway castaway

Walk out the door
Straight into the violence
100 brothers bonded by a code of silence
Yet every day you lose one to the song of sirens

Runway, runaway castaway

Another day
Feeling disappointed
You pop another pill just to keep you going
It's hard to dream
When your mind is so broken

Runaway, runaway castaway

Don't make deals with demons
Runaway castaway
You're so close to freedom
Runaway castaway

It's getting harder
Looking in the mirror
Cause when the fog is gone
The scars are so much clearer
The past is written
And guilt is a killer

Runaway, runaway castaway

Don't make deals with demons
Runaway castaway
You're so close to freedom
Runaway castaway

Don't flirt with your demons
Runaway castaway
You're on the verge of freedom
Runaway castaway

Don't make deals with demons
Runaway castaway
You're so close to freedom
Runaway castaway
