DM DOKURO - RUN Lyrics

      

RUN
by DM DOKURO

I refuse your help, stay away
All I hear is lies, deceit and shame
Wonder why I doubt you all this way
Would you even care if I stay?

 Why don't I run
Like a life depends on running
I should just run
As though the heart needs blood to flow
Must let go, I know

 Rearranging fate with my bare hands
Shouldn't fall apart if I still stand
Have to learn to live within your brand
That I'm the one that fails to understand

 That I just run
From the thunder overwhelming
Take off and run
As though the legs know where to go
In the lightning's glow

 (Quietly wishing I never stayed)
So scared when everyone is laughing
(Hoped the distance would keep them away)
Overdramatic and depressed
(Prayed my instinct would not betray)
Insulted through these voices clashing
(Found all too late that nothing had swayed)
On love misheard for righteousness

 (Several years of strife stuck on replay)
This struggle's only second nature
(Can't conceal the fear within my face)
To those who live it all their days
(Doubting that I'll ever be okay)
They'll pay no mind to how you're treated

 Snide when you're defeated
Gone when you've been cheated

 I need to run
(Several years of strike stuck on replay, run away)
If I wish to keep on living
(Can't conceal the fear in my face, run away)
Push through and run
(Doubting that I'll ever be okay, run away)
If blind survival's what I chose
(No one cares if I retreat or stay, I'm)
Frozen, fawning, fighting to run
I'll pay no mind to decomposing
Brace myself and run
Ignoring wounds still left exposed
A broken heart disposed

 I keep stumbling over myself while I'm trying to run
I keep falling right over myself, it's a habit to run
I know I'm disappointing myself if I cower and run
I can't try to believe in myself when I'm desperate to run

 If it's insulting to stand for myself, why don't you let me run?
If it's offensive to defend myself, why don't you let me run?
If it's oppressive to protect myself, why don't you let me run?
Exhaustion spreads and the apathy rends the attachment undone
