A TIME TO RUN AWAY
A TIME TO RUNAWAY
TIC, TIC, TIC, TIC
IT’S BEEN SO LONG A TIME
ALL THOSE YEARS OF HUSTLE
AND NOW MY BODY AND MIND
FEELS AN EXTREME FATIGUE
FROM ALL THOSE YEARS, TODAY MUST CHANGE
SO ALL THOSE FUTURE DAYS I CAN CHANGE
I NEED TO FEEL THE BUOYANCY
I NEED TO RECREATE LIFE
I NEED TO REJUVENATE
ALTHOUGH MY EYES DO NOT SEE LIKE THEY DID BEFORE
I CAN SEE MUCH MORE THAN EVER BEFORE
ALTHOUGH MY MIND IS DRAINED
I CAN SEE THE NEW AND MANY DREAMS TO COME
ALTHOUGH MY HEART BLEEDS AND IS BROKE
I CAN FEEL MY HEART OPENING AND BECOMING WHOLE AGAIN
STILL TIME ALWAYS TIC’S AWAY
LIKE DREAMS THAT LAST FOREVER
NEVER DESISTING
MY TIME SEEMS TO OF BEEN SO LONG
BUT YET, MY TIME IS VERY SHORT
SO NOW IS THE TIME TO RUNAWAY
SOMEWHERE NEW AND FRESH
SOMEWHERE BUT HERE
WHAT I WAS, I WILL NEVER BE AGAIN
I WILL BE SLEEK, AND STIMULATE MY SINS
I WILL TAKE STOCK IN MY NEW DREAMS
I WILL BE ME, SCRUPULOUS
I DON’T HAVE TO RUN AWAY ANYMORE
I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TIME TICKING AWAY
