Running away from your problems also forces you to face them.
Run for your life
Shut the door and nail it closed
For what pursues you
is but a past that you cant escape
Run as far as you can
Don't look back as that would be your demise
All your life has been a prelude
to this momentous occasion
A joining of metal and flesh
As you watch the deterioration
of the one you love
Your eyes become your enemy
begging you to tear them out
and hold them up for the world to see
Your scorched retina's burn with the passion
of every dark thought and deep desire
To rip the throat from every failed attempt at happiness
This is to be your hell
Relive the moment your loved ones finally break in front of you
So run for your life
For what pursues you is your existence
