Outrun the Past

The sky is blue and the sun is out  
I get lost in the shadows of doubt
The darkness seems to roll right in
As I sink down in a sea of sin.

I try to fight back but I just can’t win
I try to start yet can’t see where to begin
The four walls just seem to close right in
I feel much like that man of tin.

I think about not having a heart
And then all the pieces fall apart
Maybe it’s like the picture show
As in the movie to the wizard I go.

Maybe I’m like the scarecrow without a brain
Sometimes I wonder if I’m really that sane
The thoughts I have scare me to death
As I pause to take yet another breath.

Perhaps I am Dorothy looking for my home
Though I seem to wander and my spirit roams
Home becomes somewhere inside of your heart
I guess this is where my  journey shall start.

I start my journey not sure of the way
Maybe a should wait just another day
Thoughts feel trapped inside of my head
Perhaps I shouldn’t have got out of bed.

But I must get up and escape this cloud 
Still I daydream hoping it is allowed
I hit the street running going quite fast
It seems that I just can’t outrun the past.
