I want to run as fast as I can

never look back to where I am

I want to run until I can't breathe

leave all of the pain behind me

I want to let it all out as I run

I want to be alone, I wanna be the only one

I want to use all of my energy to go fast

I want the feeling I feel as I run to last



if I run fast enough will I be able to escape

if I try hard enough to fly will I get a cape

I want to run from everything, leave it all behind

I want to go to every single hiding place I can find

I want to run until I collapse and struggle for breath

I want to run until I have to come face to face with death

I want to put all of my focus on running faster and faster

I want to face all of my problems, all of my inner disaster



I want to be able to look my problems in the eyes

and watch as each one, one by one slowly dies

I want to feel the breeze sweep across my hair

the monsters and me are the only ones there

and this time I won't run from them, I will not be afraid

this time all of the fear I have always had will finally fade

faster and faster I will run out of my body into my head

and I will come to life and will not let them knock me dead



I want to run, run as fast as I can, run away

I want to make my lungs fight to let me breathe today

I want to run from the pain that I am feeling inside

I want to run away from every single tear I have cried

the tears never washed away the pain, so I am running now

I will make it end though I don't know why and exactly how

I just want it to be over, I want this to be the end and I want it to be done

I want to fly away from it, I want to swim to shore, I want to run
