Running to Find Me
Fear.
Has picked up my trail
Is looking to find me.
Fear.
He's right on my tail
He's coming to bind me.
I run through the night
I'm looking behind me.
With no one in sight
I'm running to find me.
Where would I go?
How would I get there?
Will I ever come back?
Would anyone care?
I'm outrunning fear
Running to find me
Who will come near
And help me come find me.
Out of nowhere it strikes me
I fall to the ground
Out of nowhere it fights me
From pain do I drown
Away from the pain
I go on and I swim
But what will I gain
If I actually win.
I'm running away
But there's something I lack
I know I can't stay
But do I have to go back?
