"And So I Run"

Running
I run wild
I run and run
Until I no longer see the past
So dark
So troublesome

Maybe this is why I lie
I lie because I can feel
            I can't think
I can't think                
    I can't think

Lying has become a bad habit of mine
        Almost as bad       
As my desire           
My desire to not think       
To not feel                       
To not be here                       

But I must keep going
    I must keep running
        I must keep running!

When I stop running it will all be over
Maybe it won't
Who knows
I just keep running
Its all I can focus on
One step there                        
                            One step here
         Left right           
            Left right                   
Left right                       
Breathe in breathe out                       
Breathe in breathe out                       

I've been running constantly
Maybe it's time I face my fears?

No
I mustn't face my fears
I must keep running
And so I run
