LYRICS
Chorus:
I'm runnin and runnin and runnin on, 'till I run out all my time, I'm runnin (I'm runnin)
I'm runnin and runnin and runnin I, gotta go find my peace of mind, I'm runnin (I'm runnin)
Verse 1:
I run everyday but I feel like I'm walkin casually
While happiness in front of me lookin back at me like, "you ain't catchin me"
But still I try until my dream has died, another casualty
I need more than a piece of mind, I need a pie of sanity
Standing at my vanity
Examining the person staring back at me
Now look who I've become or maybe this is who I'm actually
The tragedy of realizing what I want is not what life had planned for me
When everybody's life is sweet but mine would rather be a cavity
How could I not feel like God is made at me?
The claustrophobia of thinkin that I'm out of options
And Id be better off just laying in a coffin
That's how twisted that my thinking can become when I'm exhausted
I actually believe there would be freedom when I'm boxed in
And I know, everything will be OK
But for now it's like I gotta get away,
Tell my people that I'm runnin
Chorus:
I'm runnin and runnin and runnin on, 'till I run out all my time, I'm runnin (I'm runnin)
I'm runnin and runnin and runnin I, gotta go find my peace of mind, I'm runnin (I'm runnin)
Verse 2:
Curled up in the corner cryin
Trying to find her mind and tell me how I hurt her her voice is being defiant
She can barely get a word (word)
Cause she's frazzled in her nerves, even worse, she believes it's all a battle she deserves
Cause she's battled with her worth
Since the fraggles it's the shackles in the earth
Holdin her hold her down while she's entangled in a curse
Where every man she's put on top of mantles is a jerk
That's lookin down upon her and dismantling her smirk
Today that man is me, I need to handle how I curse
Words are weapons at their worst
I got a gift for never saying what I mean
I swore that I'd protect her but I heckle her and scream
So imagine the betrayal when the bloke you had expected
To cloak with you protection
Has spoke to you in ways that left you broken into sections
So neglected since I met her
I'm thinking it's better that I leave her let her find somebody better so I'm runnin
Chorus:
I'm runnin and runnin and runnin on, 'till I run out all my time, I'm runnin (I'm runnin)
I'm runnin and runnin and runnin I, gotta go find my peace of mind, I'm runnin (I'm runnin)
Bridge:
Tell me there's another type of heaven
Where people like me got a chance of being let in
There's so many thing I know I've done wrong
I try to make it right but that never lasts long, oh no
Tell me there's another type of heaven
The way I am I don't think I'm a ever get in
There's so many thing I know I've done wrong
I try to act right but that never lasts long (long)
Verse 3:
Stress is all up on me, homie, like I'm at a weigh in
It used to be that I could take him, break him down and shake him
Lately I'm the one that's shakin like Mohammed in a quake n'
Goly, Ali at least had fought no reason to degrade him
Me? I only got anxiety, the battle's in my brain n'
It's Strange when I gotta fight myself to make it through the day n'
I wake up feeling so forsaken
That peace and I don't coincide like eatin bacon saying As-salamu alaykum
Got em watchin up in Austin, awesome ain't it?
Too bad my mental state is playing possum on the pavement
I'm so controlling that I'm making Gallum look sedated
Feeling Frustrated with all these obstacles and impossible ultimatums
The problem is I create em
And, honestly, you got to pardon me cause a part of me's harboring this envy in me toward anybody's that's great
While I'm trying to talk myself into living another day
Tell my people that I'm runnin
Chorus:
I'm runnin and runnin and runnin on, 'till I run out all my time, I'm runnin (I'm runnin)
I'm runnin and runnin and runnin I, gotta go find my peace of mind, I'm runnin (I'm runnin)
