Run
I want to run away
Just to feel free
I don't have to run
From an empty family
I've got a mother who cares simply to much
Her heart the biggest I've ever seen
I just want to run
I don't want to run away to be mean
Simply to feel the rush
I want to run away with you
I want to watch the morning sunrise and watch the grass dew
I want to run just for the pleasure of it
Just to feel the wind
I want to run until I have to quit
I want to run just to come back home
Because when I ran I was truly alone
I want to run so I really know what I have
I want to run so I will see clear
I want to run just for the fear
Of being caught of being sought out
I just really want to run

I think I'm addicted to you
I think I'm in love with you
So deep I'm drowning in it
But I don't mind...

We all stand
Stand beside the fire
That lights the way
To each event do we feed the flame
Every word
Every look
Written in the flicker of the orange light
Dancing on the palm of my destiny

Inside of this dark place
There's no room, no space
I live alone awaiting tomorrow
Alone with my sorrow

Beside these walls I am caged
There's spilt ink on my life's blank page
The tears burn as they sear my cheeks
Why does pain only feed on the weak?

The ashes of my burnt heart lay on the floor
My heart will beat nevermore
The empty inside I feel
A pain that becomes so real

Overtaking my bones they stage my smile
I remain its puppet for a while
I am trapped inside crying
I am alone inside dying

The words on the page help ease the sting
Though the words won't change a thing
There's a hole where it's missing
So deep I feel nothing can fill

I rest captive between these walls
Break them down make them fall
Save your breath you won't breath long
As your thoughts are turned wrong

Madness in your eyes
And pain in your lies
You're so trapped
Inside

Lock me away
Inside these steel bars
Where I will fade
The loneliness in my patronizing heart
I can hear the voices in my head telling me to let go
But I told them no
I told them no

Darker as the roads go on
Silent, no sight of dawn
Walking while my legs grow weaker
The road gets longer and the walk gets steeper

Blood running from my torn feet
Still walking to where the road and the stars meet
Breaking but never truly giving up
Slower but never truly stuck

Closer but the curtains begin to close
A victory no one ever knows
Simple but so close to soul
Finally I am becoming whole

Tall or is it small?
The quite whispers of the trees
They all talk in circles
Going around my head
The trees spin
And I sit
Within it's quiet company
Sleeping against the ground
Stroking the pain of my heart
I feed it my tears
It takes all my strength not to break
Holding on to my love
Holding on to the trees
On to the roar of the water
To the melting snow
To the reawakening birds
And the beautiful song of the wind brushing against the leaves
Holding on to the warmth that the sun pours
Loving us all
I walk ahead
Just to listen
And there as the birds all watch down
I want to live instead
