The Eternal Run

I’m running, I’m running,

Nothing to stop me.

I’m running, I’m running,

I’m feeling so free.

I’m running, I’m running,

Nothing to hold me,

Except

This thing that’s following me.

I’m running, I’m running,

I pick up the pace.

I’m running, I’m running,

It’s up for the chase.

I’m running, I’m running,

Feel it breathe down my back.

I’m running, I’m running,

Trying to lose its track.

I’m running, I’m running,

It reaches to grab me.

I’m running, I’m running,

Trying so hard to flee.

I’m running, I’m running,

It’s got a hold of me.

But I’m still running and running,

It’s covering me!

I’m running, I’m running,

Trying to shake it free.

I’m running, I’m running,

It’s actually inside of me!

I’m running, still running,

I’m not really free.

Ice teeth gnawing,

Warm sweat drowning,

Ghost hands choking,

Heavy breathing.

Heart is running, it’s running,

There’s no place to be.

Mind is running, it’s running,

It’s acting crazily.

It’s running, it’s running,

Nowhere to go.

It’s running, it’s running,

It’s part of the show.

It’s running, it’s running,

Illusion it’s free.

It’s running, it’s running,

From this moment 

Towards a distant memory.

I’m running, I’m running,

The wolves on a spree,

I’m running, I’m running,

Climb up on a tree.

I keep running and running.

I was a tadpole,

I ran from the sea.

I keep running and running,

I am the light that you see,

Forever running and running,

So fast I can’t even be.

We've all been running and running,

We are the Universe's breath.

We’re running, we’re running,

We keep running from death.

I'm running, still running,

Track makes a turn,

So do my feet.

I’m running, I’m running,

Now I’m running straight towards it.

I’m running, I’m running,

Chatter in the air.

I’m running, I’m running,

People despair.

I’m running, I’m running,

Governments scare.

I’m running, I’m running,

I really don’t care.

I’m running, I’m running,

Machines on the rise,

I’m running, I’m running,

Our own demise.

I’m running, I’m running,

Feet stomp the ground.

I’m running, I’m running,

I’m gravity bound.

I'm running, I'm running,

Just riding the wave.

I'm running, I'm running,

Forever a slave.

I'm running, I'm running

All that I am, all there will be,

It's running, it's running,

Always

Together with me.

Life is running, it’s running,

Until it runs out of me.

I’m running, I’m running,

Now I feel free.

I’m running, I’m running,

Now I am free.
