Outrun the Past

The sky is blue and the sun is out I get lost in the shadows of doubt The darkness seems to roll right in As I sink down in a sea of sin. I try to fight back but I just can’t win I try to start yet can’t see where to begin The four walls just seem to close right in I feel much like that man of tin. I think about not having a heart And then all the pieces fall apart Maybe it’s like the picture show As in the movie to the wizard I go. Maybe I’m like the scarecrow without a brain Sometimes I wonder if I’m really that sane The thoughts I have scare me to death As I pause to take yet another breath. Perhaps I am Dorothy looking for my home Though I seem to wander and my spirit roams Home becomes somewhere inside of your heart I guess this is where my journey shall start. I start my journey not sure of the way Maybe a should wait just another day Thoughts feel trapped inside of my head Perhaps I shouldn’t have got out of bed. But I must get up and escape this cloud Still I daydream hoping it is allowed I hit the street running going quite fast It seems that I just can’t outrun the past.
