Running away is all I’ve ever known

Hiding my face in a mask, all an act

But now it has become too much

It hurts, it hurts and there’s no escape

 

Pain, grief, loss all give us a chance to change

But I don’t know what to do with all of this

Spare change that means absolutely nothing

Might as well throw it all in the gutter

 

New beginnings are something

I have always craved their new life

The new breath that is full of fresh air

But this time it hurts like burning acid rain

 

It burns all the way down

Hot tears from an angry mind

It burns behind my eyes and I can only see it

I can’t save me from the fire

I can’t even shrink and disappear

 

Fear is a kind of agony

The uncertain times are not mine

Why would you turn away

But more true, why would you stay
