Running Overture

Running is better than swallowing tears
Running is better than chocking on fears
Running is better, it makes me feel like I’m alive on the move
Running is better than having to face the truth

Running is better than getting cornered and ripped apart
Slipping the slippery slope and taking a crash to the heart
Running is better than getting stuck in my ways
So I run and run and run in circles through the maze

Running is better than swallowing tears
Running is better than chocking on fears
Running is better, it makes me feel like I’m alive on the move
Running is better than having to face the truth

I wish I could catch my breath but running is never over
Instead of a heart on my sleeve, I’m wearing a supernova
Sarchotic, darkastic, shaking but trying to keep up the pace
I’m running because I cannot show the horror seething through my face

I wish I could stop but there is a wild blind black hole
Chasing me down, wearing me out, eating away my soul
Running is better than getting wiped out without a trace
Still, don’t matter where I run I feel like I’m stuck in the same place

Running is better than swallowing tears
Running is better than chocking on fears
Running is better, it makes me feel like I’m alive on the move
Running is better than having to face the truth

Running is better than never seeing the sun
Got nothing to lose now that I’m comfortably numb
Running forward is still better than crawling back
Running nowhere feels better than fading to black
