Running
Trying to escape my past
The things that I have done
The things that I haven’t
The people that I’ve hurt
Just to get where I am
I’ll try to escape my fears
Fears of losing everything
Fears of dying or losing control
Fears that keep me running everyday
I don’t know how far I’ll go
To escape all that I hate
To free myself of every
Bad dream and hurtful memory
I’ll just keep running
Until I can no more
Face the days of ruining myself
And the people that I love
Those people that will never know
The secrets I keep inside
The secrets that eat away
All the memories I hold dear
And yet I still keep running
From everything and everyone
Still I’ll never outrun my past
My secrets or my fears
As far as I may go
Wherever this land will take me
I’ll always and forever
Just keep running.
