Running

I’m running out of something
I just don’t know what it is
All white and not so gentle forces
Are turning at the tuning switch
Peace is so far away
Whoever made this seem rite
What does this all really mean
It’s finally about time
It’s finally about time x2
I’m running into something
I just don’t know what it hits
Jet black and canopies pierce
And nothing seems to lift
These moments dragging on
And we don’t really know where to
The new normal is here
And we don’t really know what to do
We don’t know what to do
We stand face to face
Caught up in the same race
Let’s move on facing forward today
I’ll try to better in the same way
Try and do better today
I’ll try and I’ll and I’ll try to be better today

Where Does This End?

Answers I already know
Questions I just can’t let go
I wanna keep learning
Moving on and on and on …..
It’s not too late to make a stand
It’s not too late to try and understand
It’s the learning
That keeps moving on and on and on…
This is more than just strange still fighting for the change
This is more than insane and we’re all to blame
This keeps on going on and on and on
Tell me where does this end
Dreaming of happier news
Streaming red because of all these blues
Are we learning
Moving on and on and on
It’s not too late to makes this right
It’s not too late to pick up a book and join the fight
Let’s get learning
Moving on and on and on…
This is more than just strange still fighting for the change\
This is more than insane and we’re all to blame
This keeps on going on and on and on
Tell me where does this end

I try my best/ on shaky ground
To make new mistakes with no one around
When everyone’s left/and I’m all by myself
No one to judge or cover me upon the shelf
I don’t have to
Run away run away run away run away
Runaway to get free
I don’t have to
Run away run away run away run away
Runaway to be
Who I want
Who I can
Who I want
Who I am
Covered in sweat/ from head to toe
I’m hot then I’m cold/ In a world that I hardly know
Lord knows where I am/ Knows I’m getting there
Put on some weight along the way/ and I’ve been losing hair
I don’t have to
Run away run away run away run away
Runaway to get free
I don’t have to
Run away run away run away run away
Runaway to be
What I want
What I am
What I want
Who I can
I don’t have to
Run away run away run away run away
Runaway to get free
I don’t have to
Run away run away run away run away
Runaway to be
Who I want
Who I can
Who I want
Who I am

Gone Away

That sensation you feel deep inside
Tears you apart and makes you wanna scream
What are you gonna believe in now
That this is the new reality
The world that we knew is gone away
Where are you going to stand now that it’s time to change?
Bake your bread and plant your seeds
We’re gonna fight for the scraps sure as hell we’re gonna bleed
We’ve been sicker for much longer than this
Quicker and quicker there’s a lot more we’re gonna miss
The world that we knew is gone away
Where will you stand now that it’s the time to change
And we sit and think back where this went wrong
And we sit and think
We sit and thinking for far too long
Take your pills and drink your french press
Does it really matter when this world is such a mess
The difference between life and death
Is what you do are you gonna fight till your last breath
The world that we knew is gone away
Where are you going to stand now that it’s time to change?

Earnest in nature.
Honest to a fault.
