Running From


What exactly have I come across?

Never knew the simple life I led could cause complex loss.

Stuck inside the frame, knowing all I see is rain,

If I keep my eyes to God then maybe life will make a change.

Potentially for better, if not then maybe in the afterlife.

all I see is struggle, pain, tears, and the dimming of light.

i close my eyes to show myself the world I live inside.

dark, twisted, and unvaluable, plus it's my place to hide.

Will I ever get the girl I watch from far away?

knowing if I told her how I felt then she would stray away.

I might never know of all the possibilities of day,

all because I'm running from the light, I live for night, no day.
