Deep Breaths

I can't see Running through the trees At night Running so fast Must run faster Go to the left Go to the right Watch out for that tree ahead Breathing so hard Deep breaths Must relax muscles I stop to catch my breath I dont know how far I got Away from you You yell my name It sounds like a whisper I know you must be getting closer But Im so tired I have to go on I force myself to go on Go now I start to walk I hear things around me I start to jog There are footsteps behind me I start to run Faster Faster Faster Im going so fast I dont know whats ahead I jump off a cliff And fall I dont know how long Ive been falling But I hit water I cant breathe Im about to drown I reach the surface Deep breath I swim To the next shore I get up And start to run I find the road Waiting for a car I see headlights up ahead The car keeps coming And doesnt slow down I get out of the way And look to where the car was heading I notice that its stopped I walk to the car And look inside Its you And you have a gun You raise it at me Deep breath Witch will be my last And then all I see Is white gun blasts
