I just cannot stop
Asking why, always why
Running and running
Wandering and wondering
No matter how many years fly by
Screaming "who, what and when"
Like some crazed eight year old
Who needs to know everything
In a world so filled with nothing
Running and running
Towards one ounce of proof
Things that will not crumble at the slightest touch
You tell me who the hell i抦 gonna trust
I can抰 stand looking at grown-ups
Never mind trust them
Loud and proud laughing at things that are not funny
Chewing happily on what is left
Of this cold, gray, flawed world
I just gotta keep right on running
Away from it all
Towards tears born from lesson
Towards dreams instead of dollars
Half my age and stupidly brave
慶uz anything is better than lying in some comfortable deathbed
Staring into the abyss
As afraid of living as I am of not living
Though one time I awoke
And could still feel the cold steel of a sword
That had been thrust into me
(play the fife lowly) I just cannot stop Asking why, always why Running and running Wandering and wondering No matter how many years fly by Screaming "who, what and when" Like some crazed eight year old Who needs to know everything In a world so filled with nothing Running and running Towards one ounce of proof Things that will not crumble at the slightest touch You tell me who the hell i抦 gonna trust I can抰 stand looking at grown-ups Never mind trust them Loud and proud laughing at things that are not funny Chewing happily on what is left Of this cold, gray, flawed world I just gotta keep right on running Away from it all Towards tears born from lesson Towards dreams instead of dollars Half my age and stupidly brave 慶uz anything is better than lying in some comfortable deathbed Staring into the abyss As afraid of living as I am of not living Though one time I awoke And could still feel the cold steel of a sword That had been thrust into me Explain Request ×
