Easier To Run

Am I a coward because I’m afraid? My time is up and there’s dues to be paid. And now my welcome seems long over-stayed. So, what do I do? I can see just where I’m supposed to be But I can’t conquer the feelings in me. I see the door and I’m handed the key So, what do I do? I should stand up and be counted, the battle’s just begun. But I find it is easier to run. I guess I should be stronger when all is said and done But I find it is easier to run. Am I a slacker, my focus is gone? All my worries and fears keep spinning on. And I can see I’m no more than a pawn. So, what do I do? I have weapons but just what are they for? My shield is broken and lays on the floor. And I am shaking to my deepest core. So, what do I do? I should stand up and be counted, the battle’s just begun. But I find it is easier to run. I guess I should be stronger when all is said and done But I find it is easier to run. So, please forgive me the choices I’ve made. For the lies and the games that I have played. Because I fear my fear must be obeyed So, what do I do? I don’t really think you will understand. Things didn’t work out the way I had planned. I’m just a man who is always unmanned. So, what do I do? I should stand up and be counted, the battle’s just begun. But I find it is easier to run. I guess I should be stronger when all is said and done But I find it is easier to run.
