Chase

Folder: 
Dark

The moon is chained with silver to my waist

And the sun is tethered by a rope to my head

You'd think that it's light would shine on my face

But from the looks of things it's light is dead

How could I ever think to run from this place

I'd keep on running no matter how much my feet bled

But the planets would always give their chase

Following my tracks left outlined in red

Can I run faster

Can I breathe faster

Can I feel faster

Can I move faster than the earth and the wind

And the stars in the sky

Can I fly, can I win

Or will I just die, blades of sorrow oh so thin

Ripping through my skin

But in the end...

Can I win

The sun and the moon slow me down in this race

I probably should have gone lighter instead

How can I ever keep up this pace

I've left my life behind, along with my bed

The moon simply watches, never without grace

Though the sun glares at me, so easily read

My pride long gone, away without trace

My fear and pain growing, steadily fed

Can I run faster

Can I breathe faster

Can I feel faster

Can I move faster than the earth and the wind

And the stars in the sky

Can I fly, can I win

Or will I just die, blades of sorrow oh so thin

Ripping through my skin

But in the end...

Can I win

The moon is chained with silver to my waist

And the sun is tethered by a rope to my head

You'd think that it's light would shine on my face

But from the looks of things it's light is dead

Will I ever get away from this place

Where the planets align to fulfill my worst dread

The sun and the moon slow me down in this race

I probably should have gone lighter instead

Can I run faster

Can I breathe faster

Can I feel faster

Can I move faster than the earth and the wind

And the stars in the sky

Can I fly, can I win

Or will I just die, blades of sorrow oh so thin

Ripping through my skin

But in the end...

Can I win

Can I fly

Can I run
