RUNNING

times were good so they said
times that are gone long since dead
what happened then i now recall
into my darkness depper i fall
questions arise now unkind
but answers nowhere can i find
long ago is how it seems
lost inside demonic dreams

running away from the past
away from happiness that wouldn't last
leaving behind all i know
now begins my horror show
wanting to see events of tommorow
to make disappear the pain and sorrow
mistakes come along the way
the way to find a better day
casting out the fears i see
left to drown in misery

looking up i see that your not here
wiping my eyes of a tear
why can't i pass into the light
to make my wrongs into a right
sadness falls and darkness comes
no more air to fill my lungs
out of breath and going still
running the race so i can heal

bridge

running circles into the ground
chasing dreams that now abound
deeper and deeper i start to sink
no time now to stop and think
about the trouble the time i spent
wasting away no more to present
