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.
