It's not what you think, trust me. aha I don't have a problem with running, I just wanted an excuse to write.
Why’re you running?
to be alone
But not isolated
Weaving through strangers on the street
My metronome feet
Bouncing of the concrete
Why’re your running?
I mean,
I just like the outdoors
a change from my old ceiling and floors
To feel the sweat dripping from all my pores
As my body screams “No more”
Why’re you running?
You see doc,
Sometimes I just like not being confined
By my office or by my mind
A little respite from the daily grind
A productive way to unwind
Why’re you running?
What do you want me to say?
That I just like to run away?
To escape my constant thoughts of grey?
And just how I wanted to die today?
But suicide for an artist is far too cliche
Why’re you running?
Because It’s something I’m good at
i mean I’m built for it, I’m pretty, flat
it makes me less terrified of getting, well, fat
It’s not like I’m racing, I’m not a rat
It’s not an issue, why would you say that?
Why’re you running?
Why do you care?
and maybe I don’t want to share
And what if it’s because it’s always there
And that I’m the one running and it’s going no where
I’m not addicted, that’s not fair!
Why’re you running?
Fine,
Maybe it’s cause I like the pain
its the only thing that makes me feel sane
I chose, I chose when I leave, and it remains
I can escape with intact veins
No one’s there calling my name
Or pointing the finger, to give me blame
It’s a pause button on my mental hurricane
a break from my public domain
Not that I have an ounce of actual fame
Oh, we’re out of time, Shame.
