run away


Run! Just run away; away from everything The fears, the heartbreak, the troubles, the friends Run! Just Run; away from it all Through the town into the woods Run, Run, keep running away Away from it all just keep running. All alone into the woods keep running Keep running and running away from it all Finally by yourself, all alone into the darkness The trees, close like all the lies of life It’s hard to see in all the darkness You feel broken, left to pieces Like the branches of the trees, snapped. The trees are all in the way of light No happiness, just empty, so just get over it The darkness takes over and there is nothing left No pieces! You hear nothing else, feel nothing else Just nothingness, just darkness. No More! No more pain, no more fear Just you, just you and the darkness Now don’t think, just relax It’s just you in the woods by yourself, Just you and the darkness, The darkness and nothing else No more you, no more pain No more fear, no more heartbreak No more sadness….nothing, nothing but darkness Darkness alone, quiet and nothing else So Run! Just run away, into the woods Away from everything and everyone…away from life.
