Why do I run?
Why do I turn from you?
Knowing that I could do right
But I just can't get it down
Why do I run?
Why do I turn from you?
Knowing that I could do right
But I just can't get it down
Tryna be an honest man
Flesh and soul at contest man
Fail and fail repeatedly
Makes me wanna vomit man
Deficient as a father
Deficient as a spouse
Puttin down my wife and kids
Chaos in my house
I'm striving but I'm strugglin
Gasp above the waves
Wanna Slip below the surface
And end it all today
Who will free me from this life
Governed by the grave
Make me value living
Terminate me As a slave
Why do I run?
Why do I turn from you?
Knowing that I could do right
But I just can't get it down
Why do I run?
Why do I turn from you?
Knowing that I could do right
But I just can't get it down
Everyday I wake up
I'm suffering the pain
Tryna make a break for it
Feel em tugging on the chain
Whisper in my ear
Aye chug anotha beer
I'm tryna drown em out
Make the voices disappear
Am I doomed to a life
Shackled by Anxiety
Whats the substitute
For a self hate society
Need to escape From this world to sobriety
I've been deceived
Demons have lied to me
Why do I run?
Why do I turn from you?
Knowing that I could do right
But I just can't get it down
Why do I run?
Why do I turn from you?
Knowing that I could do right
But I just can't get it down
With His death I'm free to live out my life in the light of Christ
I am free from chains that've held me back
I am free at last forever
