Run
Running from your fears
Running from your pain
Running from the trouble that keeps you lying awake
Running from the horror
Running from the stillness before a tempest
Where are you going?
You don't have a clue
You need to run
And only run
Never looking behind you
Running away from life
Running away from reality
Away from time and death
It seems to be an answer in your mind
The ONLY answer
Running frees you
Running lets you breathe and be the independent you know you are
But where will you go
When the rain begins to fall again?
Will you cry in the heart of it?
Or will you just run farther away from it all?
Running isn't the way
Running isn't the answer
Running is cowardly, weak and fragile
Face the problems head on
Never hide
Never run
