Running From Us (REAL)

I ran the rest of the way home. I thought maybe running would feel good, and it did. I put all my energy into sprinting, but I could only do that for so long. Eventually my energy ran out and I was just using my pain as fuel. Even that could only take me so far, and I was soon stumbling along as the last of any feeling slipped through my fingers.

I reached home feeling empty again. In an attempt to feel something, I went to my studio and sat down. Words began to flow from my mind onto my phone, creating verse after verse as my sadness and anger and pain began to wake up. Soon I was typing furiously, explaining myself and my broken heart in the only way I really knew how to. 

Once I was done with the words, I logged onto my computer and very quickly made a track for it. It was minor, reflecting the darkness of my current mindset. A checklist formed in my mind, completing every step quickly and efficiently. Beat, synth, piano, sampling, editing, done. 

Someone knocked on my door, but I ignored it. Whoever it was didn't try again, just walked away. It was a good thing, I wouldn't have answered and I didn't need knocking in the recording. I felt slightly bad because I knew that the members were hurting as well but I really couldn't help them right now. How could I, when I could hardly even help myself? How could I, when I was here writing like this?

I yanked my microphone out of my drawer and plugged it in, finally able to let loose.

"Things are different now (different now)
Now that you've heard my real voice (real voice)
Now that you've seen my real face (real face)
Our love is gone and I hate this game

Faster faster (I go from you)
This emptiness (is caused by you)
Falling falling (I fell for you)
Everything I was, I was for you

I've started running from us, I feel the pain
Everything I was, you take away
When I finally lift this weight
I'll say it was all for you

You remember when we first met? (first met)
You fell for me and I liked it (liked it)
And now you're gone and you can bet that (bet that)
I'll miss you forever

Someday I'll whisper your name
And the silence will make me a fool
and I'll remember that I loved you
Always will and always did

I've started running from us, I feel the pain
Everything I was, you take away
When I finally lift this weight
I'll say it was all for you

You remember when we first met? (first met)
You fell for me and I liked it (liked it)
And now you're gone and you can bet that (bet that)
I'll miss you forever

I'll miss you forever."
