[True Lord of Chaos]

Life at home really sucked
My parents fought daily
I needed to get away from it
So then I thought, maybe
I'll leave this place
Fuck'em I don't need them
I'm a man, I'll live on my own
I hope I never see them

I packed my shit, left at midnight
I left a note that says, 'I'm tired of you!
I left last night, going far away from here,
To start my life anew!'

I'm a runaway!
I'm livin on the streets.
I'm a runaway!
I steal your shit for somethin to eat.

I live on the corner with a couple bucks
My crappy job not payin shit
It's almost winter, it's bitter cold
I need a place with heat in it
It's been 3 months, too late to go back
They probably don't give a shit anymore
But I need to go to another place,
Away from this fucking whore.

It's 3 degrees, I'm out of cash
I thought that this was it.
I'm gonna die out here, in this brutal cold
And no one will care a bit.
I'm ready to die, laying here,
When I hear someone call my name.
I thought I was just hallucinatin,
But my parents really came!

I thought they didn't care about me,
But it was completely untrue.
After 5 months alone, I learned the truth.
They said they missed me, and are ready to start life anew.

Not a true story. Any comments?

Is this supposed to be br00tal? It reads like it's heavily Slipknot/Disturbed influenced.

[{IRS}Athos]

...does this "song" include any music, pray tell?

[True Lord of Chaos]

@Copa: No, it's not inspired by Disturbed or Slipknot. It's not supposed to be br00tal or metal, it's acoustic. Kinda like Outside by Staind.

[Vortigern]

It kinda reminds me of the song of the same name by Linkin Park, off Hybrid Theory, but that's probably just because of the name. I doubt it would sound anything like if it's all acoustic. Got any chords for it or picking patterns? Or just a vague idea that it'd be acoustic?

I agree... look at the choruses:


I'm a runaway!

vs.

I wanna runaway!




That's what does it for me.
