White Wives - Like A Runaway Slave Lyrics

Dirty hair falls down
Covers up my face
As you listen to me talk
Like a runaway slave

This is the person I became
With my innocence erased
Just a pictured carved from pain
I'm on display

This way of living was so beautiful
Where no one knows my name
Where nothing stays the same

I could fall asleep
On this lonesome stage
As I listen to the night
I feel high and afraid

So you ask if I am awake
Because they're closing the gates
Just a circus tiger caged
I've grown so ashamed

This way of living was so beautiful
Where no one knows my name
Where nothing stays the same

Now I remember them
But don't recall their names
New York City bound
Bulbs explode and dissipate
