From the friends that I cannot keep
From my fear who haunts me, even though it's gone
From my anger that never sleeps
I run from the noise and the silence
From the traffic on this streets
I run to the treetops, I run to the sky
Out to the lake, into the rain that matted my hair
And soaked my shoes and skin
Hid my tears, hid my fears
I run to the forest, I run to the trees
I run and I run, I' m just looking for me
I run past the churches and the crooked old mailbox
Past the apple orchards and the lady that never talks
Up into the hills, I run to the cemetery
And hold my breath, and think about my death
I run to the lake, up into the hills
I run and I run, I'm looking there still
And I see the crumbling tombstones
All forgotten names
I tasted the rain, I tasted my tears
I cursed the angels, I tasted my fears
And the earth takes me in her arms
Leaves cover my face
Ants march across my back
I run to the forest, I run to the trees
I run and I run, I'm still looking for me
I run to the lakes and up to the hill
I run and I run, I'm looking there still
And I smell my burning flesh
My rotting bones
My decay
I run and I run
I'm still running away... from me
The end of this place...
