Runaway

I've been walking this road day by day
It is filled with fear, doubt, and pain
My head is a mess, who can I really trust?
Where do I turn when everything feels crushed?
I know I'm scared now but I won't always be
Because I can feel there is hope in me
Even though these shadows creep behind
They will never catch me because
I'm not that blind
So then

I try to run, I try to hide
I leap so high, I don't know what I'll find
The fall is hard but there's no one in sight
To take my hand and pull me out from inside
This nightmare that's been in my head

I chose a path, or was it chosen instead?
I keep moving forward through these feelings of mine
I didn't ask for this, though it's within my mind
Is it a burden I carry, or is it my name?
Maybe it's neither, 'cause I'm not to blame
The agony is real, and it's in my veins
But then

I try to run, I try to hide
I leap so high, I don't know what I'll find
The fall is hard but there's no one in sight
To take my hand and pull me out from inside
This nightmare that's been in my head
I chose a path, or was it chosen instead?

I'm still breathing, I'm still standing
Now I can call out my name and not be afraid
Of this anxiety that claimed my name

I try to run, I try to hide
I leap so high, I don't know what I'll find
The fall is hard but there's no one in sight
To take my hand and pull me out from inside
This nightmare that's been in my head
I chose a path, or was it chosen instead?

I try to run, I try to hide
I leap so high, I don't know what I'll find
The fall is hard but there's no one in sight
To take my hand and pull me out from inside
This nightmare that's been in my head
I chose a path, or was it chosen instead?
