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
