RUN FOREVER
Jason Slajchert, 2010

[V.1]
We’re pounding eyes like they’re nine
And they’re playing nice like they’re twenty-five
It’s rather shrewd to be kind
only to twist words into a vine

I’m reaching out cause I’m fine
I left my name far behind
I wonder what happens when we die
Can we sneak past to the front of the line

[PRE-CHORUS]
I’m going to run forever
Cause I am afraid of honesty
We think we’re important
so we can’t escape our false security
(so we buy into superiority)

[CHORUS]
We’re trying to figure out who on Earth we are
And we’re not waking up, we’re not waking up clued in
We’re trying to figure out how we’ve come this far
But, we are holding back
We are holding back from the people we should be

[V.2]
We’re hooking up like we’re slime
I’m treating her like she cost a dime
She only with me to grind
I’m only trying to remain blind

What if one day just in time
My prayers were answered, but w/ a knife
that cut me straight to my spine
Finding a place that’s never seen light
