Running, Just To Stand Still

by Jessie   Nov 17, 2010


It ends today, this life I know.
For I feel I just need to leave
I know in my heart to get up and go
I know in my mind, just have to believe

pack a bag, minimal possessions
for where I'm going I don't need much
running's become my internal obsession
because this world's beyond my touch

Hop a train, hitchhike or run
destination-anywhere but here
I know where I'll go, follow the sun
destiny-It's now become clear.

Run away from the problems at home
just leave them behind, rotting away
push them back, I'm on my own
deal with them some other day

Find a place where no one knows me
so I'll catch a bike, bus or plane
start a new life, get out of here
for I fear I'm going insane.

.......

Or reality will hit, I wake from this dream
to find I'm standing still, motionless
I'm stuck forever in this place it seems
and I'll just have to live nonetheless
