A/N: Thanks for the reviews. For those that answered 'Runaway' you are correct. Now go burn something! But before you do that read the next chapter.

Pyro Theory

Ch. 3

Runaway

Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

They're brain washing us and I'm not going to let them. Humans will never accept us and to tell you the truth I don't really give a fuck anymore. They're scared of what we can do because they can't! Mutants guilty. Basically we're guilty of being a threat. A threat to everyone else. If you ask me…what a load of bull! What ticks me off the most is getting blamed for everything that is flammable. 'John, why is the tree on fire?' 'John, why are Bobby's clothes on fire?' 'John, blaa blaa blaaa on fire.' How the fuck am I supposed to know why they're on fire? If you point your finger at me one more time I think I just might have to burn it off.

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

I want to know. I want to know why I'm a freak. I want to know why my parents kicked my ass to the curb when they found out. I don't want to think about this anymore. I just want the truth. Is that too much to ask? I want to cry…I really do, but that won't happen…not in this lifetime.

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

I'm not sure how I'll do it. Exit through the window or the front door. The window is an option but I'll probably end up on my ass. Besides, the front door will give me more pride. It's basically saying 'screw you'. They'll probably try to talk me out of it to show they care but I know it's a bunch of bull.

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

I decided to use the door. I guess I'll save my ass some grief. To my surprise no one is around. I'm glad because I didn't want to answer any questions. For the most part, I didn't want to say goodbye. That would show I care and I don't. I don't care about anyone.

I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and open my mind
(gonna run away/mind gonna run away gonna run away/mind mind gonna run away mind gonna run away/mind gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away/mind)

Here I go. Taking a deep breath as I close the door.

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

This is it…no turning back. I took one last glance at what I will call my past.

I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind

So long losers. I'm outta here!

A/N: (oohh's and ahhh's) He should have gone out the window, huh? But I guess I wanted to save his ass from the pain.
