Flawless Real Talk
Take Me Away
[Chorus: Vchenay]
Fading away from here
Sometimes I close my eyes and try to disappear
Take me away from everything that is hurting me
Can anyone help get my life back

[Verse 1: Flawless Real Talk]
Her name was Kelly, she was living next door to me
A pretty little girl from time to time would try to talk to me
Said she loved music and would always sing a song to me
To see her daily by the window, she'd be calling me
She told me that she was a fan, I can't believe
She's living next to Flawless so I gave her some CDs
Was always nice to her, she was only fifteen
And I could tell she had a crush and talking to me was a dream
But, then I started wondering if I was new to the fact that I've never seen her leave her house to go to school
Never seen her outside and I don't know if this is true
But looking back, I've never seen her leave her room
It was clear. I'm doing tours across the country and I'm never here
So I judge the situation isn't real fair
Until the last time I tried to leave she was really scared
Don't know what she feared but she said she was

[Chorus: Vchenay]
Fading away from here
Sometimes I close my eyes and try to disappear
Take me away from everything that is hurting me
Can anyone help get my life back

[Verse 2: Flawless Real Talk]
Was on the road and if I had a little time
I'd respond to all the emails she'd be sending me online
Would always check on how she's doing
At the moment it was fine
Until I got a message that will never sit well in my mind
It read:
"Dear Flawless, I hope you're doing well. But I'm in a lot of trouble when I don't know who to tell. I know I'm gonna lose it if I don't get any help, I think I want to end it all, this life I'm living is a hell. Please, I need to find a way out, I hope you write back. I know you're probably busy but you said you'd always write back. You said that you're my friend, I love you, I don't even like rap. But I need someone who can help me get my life back."
I sat back not really knowing what to say
I gotta get her help to show her that there's a different way
But before I clicked away, I realized she had plenty more to say
Fading away

[Chorus: Vchenay]
Fading away from here
Sometimes I close my eyes and try to disappear
Take me away from everything that is hurting me
Can anyone help get my life back

[Bridge: Vchenay]
Get my life back
Help me get my life back
Get my life back
Help me get my life back

[Verse 3: Flawless Real Talk]
All these weeks are flying by
Even though I try to stay in touch it's really busy when you're on the other side
I start to think of Kelly and I feel it all inside
She was probably leaving emails that I never had replied
I'm behind
Went to read them all in order but was blind the second I saw the pain she was spilling with every line
And then I saw the latest message
Something caught my eye in bold letters
I'm seeing that the title said "Goodbye"
And it read:
"Dear Flawless, since you won't respond I guess you don't understand what's really going on. Two years ago it changed and my father and my mom split ways, now she's got somebody strange round her arm and mine. In the middle of the night he wakes me, takes me, by his filthy hands and then makes me. I tried to tell my mother but she says that I was crazy, and I wanna see her happy I wish my daddy would come save me. What makes it worse is that he never was protected. Injected a part of him and now I know I'm pregnant. I don't have any friends, this life is not what I expected. Got myself kicked out of school 'cause I get bullied every second. I had to sneak to send you all these emails that I wrote. Foolish to think that you wouldn't take this as a joke. I'm only fifteen and always had a little hope and now I see my life is over, there's no other way to cope. What I'm really trying to say, I wish that I could stay. Talking to you used to be my favorite part of my day. But I'm sick of waiting for someone to come and save the day, so it's time to let go and let God come and take me away."

[Outro (part 1): News reports]
"It comes after the death of a fifteen year old student who killed herself"
"Kelly's mother discovered the body Monday after school, she'd hanged herself in her bedroom"
"...will now face charges in connection with her death"
"...he was to be formerly charged with rape Wednesday, instead, criminal charges against him were dropped"
"Spokes person for the prosecutors says Kelly was the only source of evidence, and with her death, they couldn't make the case"

[Outro (part 2): Vchenay]
Fading away from here
Sometimes I close my eyes and try to disappear
