Running Lyrics

Running away from my problems

Wherever I go they follow me there and I'm

Finding it harder to solve them

So I'm pretending I don't even

I'm turning 33; feel like I'm hitting 40

I been at this for a minute shit is getting boring

I look back at my beginnings and I miss the glory

Days before I said fuck all y'all, like it's an orgy

And I admit that yes I wish I had a different story

Or I could skip dimensions similar to Rick and Morty

But since this isn't fiction I just stick to missions to paint pictures vivid and never fit descriptions of kids on Maury

Not the father, yeah I'm sure that's what my father wished

Cause common sense would tell you that he didn't want this father shit

That's probably why he never could be bothered with

Unless it was about me getting scholarships to colleges

And when I did he was so fucking proud of it

And just as dissapointed when I told him I dropped out of it

But by that point I ain't give a flying fuck about how he felt

Cause I was by myself

Traveled to the Chi to try to find myself

But I found that I was

Running away from my problems

Wherever I go they follow me there and I'm

Finding it harder to solve them

So I'm pretending I don't even care and I

Been drowning my sorrows in alcohol

And marijuana just to try to get away from it all

And maybe it's my depression at the base of it all

I had so much potential, but maybe I wasted it all, now I'm

Running away from my problems

And I'm pretending I don't even care at all

The pen and paper used to be a great escape

A way to break away from all the day to day

The pain would fade away as soon as I pull out my heart and put my brain away

It's safe to say it saved me when I had no place to stay

It was my saving grace

It was my haven space

It gave me space to say the things I feared I can't explain to peers

Who made it clear that they don't wanna hear the things I say

"You're such a fucking killjoy" is something like what they would say

It's like I wasn't liked unless I came to play

But I don't play no games

Been going it alone since 88

These friends ain't working like it's labor day

So I had changed my pace

And disappeared from them like David Blaine

But I had made mistake

Cause I miss all my favorite mates

Like AJK, Phil P, Phil S, Aaron D, and Clayborne J

That's my brother and miss him in the major way

I hope you all are doing well, I hope you're feeling great today

Sometimes I be wishing I ain't dip and I was made to stay cause I was only

Running away from my problems

Wherever I go they follow me there and I'm

Finding it harder to solve them

So I'm pretending I don't even care and I

Been drowning my sorrows in alcohol

And marijuana just to try to get away from it all

And maybe it's my depression at the base of it all

I had so much potential, but maybe I wasted it all

Cause I been running
