I Got to Run
Did you hear what the bubblehead said today?
Truth is dead they say
It's relative to our imagination
Chronicles of greed extends the price that we pay
Innocence, it relents, and percocet prevents the pain alright!
Father where are you in all this mess?
Your memory suggests
But it's fading into non-substantiation
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Don't gimme-no, gimme-no, gimme-no
Walk away, you can stay, you can stay, you can stay
[Chorus]
But I got to run
I got to find what's waiting there
I got to find my place under the sun
I got to run
'Cause man this place is killing me
And if I stay who knows what I'll become
I got to run
Watch the moneymen feed their need
As their heroes blast on the daily feed
Mr. Normal reeks of death
As he tries to remember to forget
Let's do lunch as we separate
As they twist and they turn
They're twistin' our fate, now
I don't know why I hesitate
Before it's too late
[Chorus]
I got to run
I got to find what's waiting there
I got to find my place under the sun
I got to run
'Cause man this place is killing me
And if I stay who knows what I'll become
I got to run
The clock is ticking and it's tick tock ticking every moment going by
And every second that passes is one more reason why
You may not get it but I know I'll regret it if I let you hold me here
And I won't take fear within me to the other side
[Chorus]
I got to run
I got to find what's waiting there
I got to find my place under the sun
I got to run
'Cause man this place is killing me
And if I stay who knows what I'll become
I got to run
Tell me quickly while I'm young
I got to find my place under the sun
I got to run
Will you tell me
What this life's meant to be
'Cause all I see is sadness waiting for me
There's nothing I hear but this dark melody...
The silence speaks and so belongs
Every whisper in the wind
There's a world beyond our sight
Seek the summit here below
As your heart is reaching on
For a love that never dies
That never dies
