Running From The Demons<\/p>\n
I was doing what I usually do.
\nLiving my life the way I wanted to.
\nSome say I was wild, out of control.
\nOthers said I was just feeling low.<\/p>\n
I say neither of them are right.
\nI want all I can get out of life.
\nYou only live once. Do it right.
\nLive to the limit with all your might.<\/p>\n
I am running, running from the demons.
\nSometimes I end up just screaming.
\nI just go on without any feeling.
\nI am running, running from the demons.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what brought me here.
\nI arrived with little to fear.
\nWhy go on when there is nothing for you?
\nIt is something I just have to do.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve been doing this all my life.
\nI feel the pain, like from a knife.
\nIt often reaches deep in my heart.
\nTrying its best to rip me apart.<\/p>\n
I am running, running from the demons.
\nSometimes I end up just screaming.
\nI just go on without any feeling.
\nI am running, running from the demons.<\/p>\n
Mostly, I am numb to the pain.
\nIf not,—– I will go insane.
\nAnother gamble, another dare.
\nTo most, it would be a scare.<\/p>\n
I have tried to figure out why.
\nIf I keep on, then I will die.
\nThere has to be a better way.
\nI hope I will find it someday.<\/p>\n
I am running, running from the demons.
\nSometimes, I end up just screaming.
\nI just go on, without any feeling.
\nI am running, running from the demons.<\/p>\n
