Running Away From Home - Eddie Benjamin

You found a reason to get me down And it's hard for me to resist you now I'm running from my fears I'm hiding all my tears from you And I'm easily found On the dark side of town I'm running away from you You'll always try to win me back Take me for granted and leave me flat Been grieving all these years Sick of hiding all these tears from you I'm just sitting around Feeling like a clown And I'm running away from you I'm running away from you Fast as I can, now I'm losing you Tired of wearing your crown Your chance to back down I'm running away from you Running on empty, slowing down Here's later still wearing this frown I'm tired of living this life It's getting so hard to survive I still want you around So come on down I'm running away from you I'm driving away from you Fast as I can, now I'm losing you Tired of wearing your crown Your chance to back down And I'm running away from you And I'm easily found On the dark side of town I'm running away from you

Working in my Castle Miss the smile that she wore Fighting in that battle Till I head back to shore Leaving in the God's Hands The day of the harvest Working on my Good plans But they're kind of the hardest And I've been (a)Way Way Far away from home And I've been Way Way Far from them And I've been (a)Way Way Far away from home And I've been away Way Far too long Mmmmm, Mmmmm, way far away from Home Mmmmm, Mmmmm, way far away from Home Dreaming in my car like Big moves quiet wins Wearing all my scars like They're part of my wings Wondering where they are It pulls on my heartstrings Speeding up my drive like Big moovies on the screens And I've been (a)Way Way Far away from home And I've been Way Way Far from them And I've been (a)Way Way Far away from home And I've been away Way Far too long Mmmmm, Mmmmm, way far away from Home Mmmmm, Mmmmm, way far away from Home

I'm far away from home, but I'm sure I know she knows That there's nobody else existing in my world In the middle of the road, a beacon lighting up for help Telling me to come back home, I don't know where to go In the morning, with nobody next to me In my bed, in my bed So lonely, will somebody come and help? I'm rotting in the image of my head

Benjamin, science whiz My computer bat friend Tell me where, tell me when I'll meet you ninja Ben At the back of the record store With the tapes you secured Prove the extent of their viciousness As they purge our scientists My computer bat hunts for facts Campaigns funded by The fossil fuel industry How many of us will they own To give them global mastery? Sucking hydrocarbon from the ground Those pimps in Washington Are selling the rape of America As they attack Juliana Now there is no avoiding Necessity resurrecting herself And her daughters Who will never be bought Not by the gods Not by the men on the hill Thread of life Measured quick Spin then Snip Benjamin, science whiz My computer bat friend Tell me where, tell me when I'll meet you ninja Ben Tell me where, tell me when I'm in your army Ben

Totally subjective The thing that you see So what's your objective? What will it be?

Wield your hammer like weapons drawn or Wield your hammer to right what's wrong, right what's wrong? Hmm Only time will show Only time will show Only time will show, only time will show We're not passing judgment 'Cause that would be cruel Use your words to bludgeon you As if they were some tool But with those nails and those wrenches Those tools in your hand I just have one question If hammers can build, if hammers can take If hammers can make things, if hammers can Break the ground that you walk upon Break the ground that you're standin' on, standin' on If hammers can crush, if hammers can mend Then how do you plan to use your hammer, my friend?
