Life is all about running
Running after someone or something
Running to get somewhere
Sometimes we’re running away
It simply can’t be helped
It’s human nature
Instinct
Which is unfortunate
Because I run too far, too fast, without looking back
I run away with utter abandon
I run with a heart of ice
Pumping the fear that’s replaced my blood through veins of steel
Oxygen flooding my lungs
Ignited by the spark of adrenaline
Sending fire into my soul
And I inflame the dust in my wake
My body is a whirlwind
Kicking up embers as I fly on my own two feet
Stardust raining down
The cosmos in awe
My fear, so all consuming
I am a runner
Fleeing the only home I have ever known
I travel aimlessly
For someplace new and different
I search for somewhere untouched by me and my madness
Someplace whole
So I keep running
Sending embers and fire flying into the air
