There's a place I try to go, so far from here I close my eyes, I try to, to disappear I look around in my own way But what I see I never, never really know I wander 'round until I feel it coming on and then it's It's time to go I don't want to be here, falling out of place Confusion's the consensus, fighting for my space
And then you make me open my eyes, and come back, all I wanted was some time, some time to think, that’s all I needed, I would’ve been ok, with just a little time, my time not your time, you never have time, I don’t even know why I try, you’re probably here right now waiting, waiting for that moment to ambush me, slaughter my hopes, crush my confidence, pound me down, pound me down lower than you ever have before, just so you can grab my heart and rip it out, and then you chew on it, spit it out, throw it on the ground and stomp all over it, laughing, laughing hysterically, daring me to do something, knowing that I won’t, knowing that I can’t, knowing that you’re me and I’m you, and I can never hate you as much as you hate me, knowing the weaker I get, the stronger you are, knowing how weak I am, knowing how strong you are,
Can't stop the running, can't stop the running The runaway emotions in me Now you got them running, can't stop the running The runaway emotions in me
I lived it, I live it, it's not easy to say I felt it, I feel it, it's just another day It scares me, why does it dare me You know it ain't a fair fight Rain overtakes me, it tries to break me You know that something ain't right
Now you got them running, can't stop the running The runaway emotions in me Now you got them running, can't stop the running The runaway emotions in me Set my body free
They don't make no seatbelt for the mind So I can't fasten up for this ride
Running away, can't stop the runaway emotions Not right, can't fight Can't stop the runaway emotions Fighting, hiding, can't stop the runaway emotions Hypnotized, paralyzed Can't stop the runaway emotions
I was scared, I am scared, I know it, but I’m not afraid to admit it, see being scared, it don’t bother me, it’s just a feeling, I can deal with that, I know what it is, it’s what I don’t know, what I can’t feel, that’s what bothers me, that’s what really scares me, see right now I’m scared, really scared, ‘cause I can’t feel, emotionally paralyzed, light headed, like you know when you gotta pass out, actually I wish I would, you know kinda like when you gotta sneeze, the relief it brings, just waiting, waiting for something to happen, waiting for that moment, giving you a frameless time that never seems to move, and takes you nowhere, no where’s where I’m at right now, no where’s where you’re at, no where’s what you bring to me, no where’s like an itch you can’t scratch, like an itch in the brain, but when you finally figure out a way to scratch it, it just itches more
Can't stop the running, can't stop the running The runaway emotions in me Now you got them running, can't stop the running The runaway emotions in me
I hate it, I hate me, like my consistency I've seen it, I see it, I'm talking literally So much lying, too much denying It's time to face the facts You can't help me, these cards were dealt me Play out the final act
Now you got them running, can't stop the running The runaway emotions in me Now you got them running, can't stop the running The runaway emotions in me Set my body free
Oh no you really done it this time
Can't stop the runaway emotions Can't stop the runaway emotions
There's a place I try to go, so far from here I close my eyes, but I can't, can't disappear
