Running Wild
I'm succumbing to this numb feeling inside my dumb cranium
I've become someone else...a rebel...a worthless bread crumb
I will overcome these waves of emotion...drunk off of remorse's rum
I'm handsome in this pain of insanity and reign upon me happiness instead
The drums in the dead of night pound in my dreary head...all else is left unsaid
I'm running wild in my frightful flight of fear that I hold on to so dear...feeling dread
But, I'm reminded of hope from afar
I can cope with these feelings so far
I got to believe and move on from here with no tear-jerking
I got to relieve the ache in my heart without any fear-lurking
Don't jeer at me, you joker of havoc and commotion
Don't appear in my lane of thought, my impure devotion
My darling is in the future of my dreams
I am slowly, but surely falling at the seams
Wishing upon a moon
To see you real soon
As I go running wild in the nostalgic nighttime
As I throw a dime into the wishing well this time
I'll give you a penny for your mild mindset
Maybe even a quarter if you don't get upset
Or I could give you a thousand bucks tonight
Just to see you shine on the stage without fright
Melt away my numb sensations...the stupid decisions
With your vibrant vibes of lovely, desirable destinations
Give me some time to make it up to you
Live life with me and you'll see joy so true
Obedience and repentance is what I need
Weed out the mere disturbance of the peace
Breed me with your rather benevolent seed
Need to tell you how I feel on weak knees
Running wild and all at this very hour
Sprout up like a beautiful mildflower
I don't know how to say how I feel with you around
What's been lost has been found...yet I'm gravity-bound
My phone is dying on me...in me...
I am like a log in the roaring sea
I just want to be free -
That's my only plea
Can't stay still for long
I want to belong all along
It's been cold outside this whirlpool of a winter...
You hurt my pride like a splinter upon my finger
I want to write my wrongs down when all goes awry
I want to make it right with the Lord Almighty and cry
Cry with joy…
Not this sorrowfulness inside…
Cry like a boy
With happiness in his stride
You broke me in pieces,
Yet you lifted my frown
I do like when you tease
You are my joker clown
Calm my sensitive muse down a notch now
Don't abuse my love towards you and you made me baby blue when you accepted me like you do
I am running wild again and I don't know how
To say the words, running wild in my numb cranium and I'm such a foolish coward for the things I put you through
My darling is in the future of my dreams
I am slowly, but surely falling at the seams
I am rapidly and enduringly smiling with a trace of the brazen blues and its sunbeams
I just want to be free -
That's my only plea
I just want to be free -
That's my only plea
I just want to be free -
Just let me be free
And you'll see that you and me
Are meant to be for an eternity…
Now, I'm running wild freely
Without the dumb and numb feelings
That won't let me be...you see?
Let's see what sweet tomorrow brings
