Running Away

(Verse 1)The bag is packed by moonlight, a silent house behindSeeking out a future that the heart has yet to findThe pavement feels like promise, and the city looks so brightBut shadows often linger in the corners of the nightA stranger offers kindness with a polished, hollow toneTargeting the vulnerable who feel they are alone(Chorus)The cycle starts in secret, where the exits disappearTrading dreams of freedom for a life of quiet fearIt begins with one decision, a desperate need to goInto a hidden system that the world should never knowExploitation lives in silence, hidden from the dayA path that leads to places where the light has faded gray(Verse 2)The promises are broken and the truth begins to blurBound by debt and threats of harm to all that once was herIdentity is stolen, and the doors are bolted tightA world where human value is forgotten in the nightPeople pass by quickly, never looking at the faceOf someone lost and trapped within a cold and lonely space(Bridge)Recruiters watch the stations, they wait for those who fleeExploiting every struggle and every fragilityBut awareness is a weapon, and knowledge is a shieldThe tactics used in darkness can be forced to be revealed(Chorus)The cycle starts in secret, where the exits disappearTrading dreams of freedom for a life of quiet fearIt begins with one decision, a desperate need to goInto a hidden system that the world should never knowExploitation lives in silence, hidden from the dayA path that leads to places where the light has faded gray(Outro)There is a path to safety.There are hands to hold the line.Resources are available.You are not alone.
