Running Away Chasing Her
Running Away Chasing Her
I was riding Ridin with a squint in my eyes From the speed Riding hard through the turns The trees A green blur Ridin fast tryin to escape what was chasing me The past Countless miles Glaring straight ahead no time for the rearview I ripped off the mirrors and threw them over the edge of a bridge into the river dark and menacing Screaming at the water and the automobiles as they swallowed up
everything Drowning out the noise my engine speeds me into the wind Deafening Pushing me Faster into the night a dim light in front of me on the road twisting my wrist faster faster faster Trying to catch her The light I can't touch Into the morning sun Engine still straining and breathing trying to keep up with my will
to get away from the road behind me All the lines blur together No colors No troubles Just eyes bleeding colorless lines across my cheeks Teeth gritting tires soft from the heat Grabbing onto whatever they can trying to keep up with the throttle The will to go faster Escaping The old man The old plan Slow and steady dependable pace Where I was confused by the race Rats Too many hats Simpler this way when you can't hear yourself think no thinking just
Doing Reacting Moving Leaning further Before the turning churning soul on this sun beaten mirage of a road I hit the ocean nowhere else to go but down Left South Open my mouth and letting the world in all at once Swallowing me up spitting me out On the 1 Ocean on my right waves crash into my mind as the road winds Falling into the earth on a grey line and exploding out the other side Glasses pressed tight As I run away chasing her through another night
