Run
If I ran out of the room. Would you chase me, and save me from my doom? Would you run after me?  
I’m just
  So this is me Shoegazing Always An epiphany And your garage rock sound Does nothing to stir me I just sit back Watching the flow Smooth over my edges

I venture  the old paths and   travel the long roads.
My fortune renders me silent. An expression of the lost Finds a hole in my chest. I see the parallels in the death of a star.

I look out across the dingy city. Towers loom over the filthy streets, the roads, broken, have no destination, and the street signs, blank, give no direction.
Tell me a story, friend, in the empty watches of the night where only you and I exist on this perilous edge. But don’t, don’t tell me about the tears in my eyes or the bruises on your lips
Out of hope with no where to run God's plan for me seems to be none However when a light is seen Be not tentative to take the lead So when in despiration never doubt That the good lord will show you the way out
