Run, Run, Run...

Run,
        run,
               run-
                      away
Hurry through another day
Fleeing from so much dismay
A frantic, feverish, furious way

Run so fast, and run so far
Wish upon each falling star
to bring our stride to what we are
Give meaning to this gnarly scar

Moving till we tire-out
Wondering what each stride's about
All these miles tread through doubt
Save our breath, and don't scream-out

Run,
        run,
               run-
                      away
Hurry through another day
Fleeing from so much dismay
A frantic, feverish, furious way

Why, oh why,
Why must we strive
What must be done just to survive
Is there more to feeling alive
or only what we might contrive

as we...
Run, run, run
away
Run as it's the only
way
to make it through each one more
day
into each next one
(not to stay)
Just run,
run,
run
(ok?)

Cross these miles
fast and far
leave behind an
earthly scar
this rush to be
just what we are
 as we...

Run,
        run,
               run-
                      away
Hurry through another day
Fleeing from so much dismay
A frantic, feverish, furious way

Running towards
what we run from
running through it
oblivious, dumb
running till feet & minds
go numb
sucking on
opposing thumb
hitching, hiking
   not to-
     but from
as we...

Run, run, run
away
Run as if it's the only
way
to make it through each one more
day
into each next one
(not to stay)
Just run,
run,
run
(ok)
