Always gonna have a need to run

Running wild finally free
More than I’d ever dreamed
Doesn’t really matter who you think you are to me
Show them what they’re here to see
All that you want to be
Maybe that way you can be free

We’ve all heard this story before
Just gonna go back for more
Slowly as you accept
“This is my home”
Now matter how hard you try
From the other you cannot hide
You’ll always end up switching sides

Oh baby,
Forget all your problems
Forget how you feel
Slowly as you’re hoping
That the God that you know isn’t real

No matter how hard you try
You will have to pick a side
You cannot live both lives

No matter how many times the ties have been severed
You’ll just be this way forever
Because you’ll just tie them up again
So on this path you’ve chosen to go through
I have only one question for you:

For what is the point of all your pain
If no one’s around to enjoy it?!
I entered as one
My heart split in two
And now I’m half the man I used to be

And when you have nothing left
They all will set you free
You’re made to be exploited
You might as well enjoy it
After all… she’s what they’re here to see

They say that the day of their death
All will burn as they chose to live
I don’t care though, love, I miss you
For just one chance to see you
I’d give everything I can give

“Just hold on to your trauma
Please, never move on
So you may return when your time comes”
I will never be alone if
I can remain broken
That’s how all their stories go

Why did I have to enter this scene?
Why did I have to be only fifteen?!
Oh God, why…

Let’s go again!
We’re back and better than ever!
Who cares if I’m filling a void
I never really had a choice!
Might as well chase that feeling again
Of being the lie that I wish were true

For what is the point of all your pain
If no one’s going to exploit it?!
I entered as fake
The lie became true
And now all that’s left is me and you

They say the die that you die
You will burn as you lived
So with the little time you have left
Let’s give them all that we can give

Running wild, trapped or free
More than I’d ever dreamed
And though I hate to say it
I’ll see you all in three years
I don’t care where I have to go
Because for sure I know
One day I will see you again

Sorry guys, I gotta run

Running wild finally free
I’m here now just to see
It doesn’t really matter what happens in those three years
And though the thought brings me to tears
The whispers in my ears
Tell me to just give in for you
