[Slug]   She dropped the gun and started running down the corridor   She found the exit to get out that department store   She reached full sprint when she hit the parking lot   She didn't see police, not even any rent-it-cops   She ran across the street and went behind the Applebee's   From there she could see those abandoned factories   Figured there's a good place for her to hide away   Knowing she could climb inside through the fire escape   At this point, still felt like a dream   In her head she could still hear the little kid's screams   Leaning up against the dumpster to find some breath   She could hear the sirens, now it's time to step   Running through the alleyway now relentless   Bobbing in between houses, hopping fences   Only two more blocks till the overpass   The adrenaline is rendering a panic attack   Maybe she should go back and explain it all   Maybe the best thing to do now is take that fall   Ain't no way that they won't understand   Daddy's little girl is never gonna hurt again      She can't believe that she's having this dilemma   Tryna find a reason that she shouldn't go surrender   She's a kid and a first time offender   Plus he had it coming, hell it's colder in December   Decided she would make it to the vacant warehouse   From there she could try to get her head to clear out   She needs a minute to sit and think   Some time to reflect on these events and let 'em sink   There's the building, it's empty she hopes to God   The fire escape is on the back near the loading dock   The next chapter to the happy ever after   Wrapped her little fingers round the cold metal ladder   Started climbing, that's when she heard the officer   "Millie turn yourself in now girl, come down from there"   She tried to look over her shoulder   Lost balance, fell four stories, it was over
