Somewhere To Run

Can I give in?

Can I say it's too much?

Can I hide from the world,

And find somewhere to run?

 

Can I forget

Why I'm too tired to be,

And just give in

To the sleep that calls me?

 

My world is crashing down so slowly

And I've forgotten who I am.

I just watch the pieces crumble eternally,

Wondering when it all will end.

 

Where is the strength

I once found I had?

Where is the beauty

I once saw in the land?

 

Why can't I forget

All that used to be,

And just give in

To the sleep that calls me?

 

My world is crashing down so slowly

And I can't find truth, or love, or beauty.

So I watch the pieces crumble forever

Wondering what has happened, to make it fall apart.

 

The life I once had, has all but left me.

The dreams I once cherished, have crumbled to ash.

So as I wait for the future, I just want to surrender;

Find a place I can rest

And somewhere to run.
