RUN from they know who they are | act I: downfall by DM DOKURO, Modeseven

i refuse your help;
stay away
all i hear are lies,
deceit, and shame
wonder why i doubt
you all this way-
would you even care
if i stayed?

why don't i run,
like a life depends on running?
i should just run,
as though the heart needs blood to flow-
must let go, i know

rearranging fate
with frail hands;
shouldn't fall apart
if i still stand
have to learn to live
within your brand,
that i'm the one who fails
to understand

that i just run,
from the thunder overwhelming-
take off and run,
as though the legs know where to go,
in the lightning's glow

(quietly wishing i never stayed)
so scared when everyone is laughing
(hoped the distance would keep them away)
over-dramatic and depressed
(prayed that my instinct would not betray)
insulted through those voices clashing
(found all too late that nothing had swayed)
on love misheard for righteousness

(several years of strife stuck on replay)
this struggle's only second nature
(can't conceal the fear within my face)
to those who live it all their days,
(doubting that i'll ever be okay)
they'll pay no mind to how you're treated

snide when you're defeated

gone when you've been cheated

I NEED TO RUN,
(SEVERAL YEARS OF STRIFE STUCK ON REPLAY - RUN AWAY)
IF I WISH TO KEEP ON LIVING
(CAN'T CONCEAL THE FEAR WITHIN MY FACE - RUN AWAY)
PUSH THROUGH AND RUN
(DOUBTING THAT I'LL EVER BE OKAY - RUN AWAY)
IF BLIND SURVIVAL'S WHAT I CHOSE,
(NO ONE CARES IF I RETREAT OR STAY, I'M-)
FROZEN, FAWNING,
FIGHTING TO RUN
I'LL PAY NO MIND TO DECOMPOSING
BRACE MYSELF AND RUN
IGNORING WOUNDS STILL LEFT EXPOSED-
A BROKEN HEART DISPOSED



I keep stumbling over myself while I'm trying to run
I keep falling right over myself, it's a habit to run
I know I'm disappointing myself if I cower and run
I can't try to believe in myself when I'm desperate to run

IF IT'S INSULTING TO STAND FOR MYSELF, WHY DON'T YOU LET ME RUN?
IF IT'S OFFENSIVE TO DEFEND MYSELF, WHY DON'T YOU LET ME RUN?
IF IT'S OPPRESSIVE TO PROTECT MYSELF, WHY DON'T YOU LET ME RUN?
EXHAUSTION SPREADS AND THE APATHY RENDS THE ATTACHMENT UNDONE.
