running from shadows

My mouth gaped
Like a fish out of water
(I had to get away)
Everywhere I hid it was there
(I had to get away)
My legs moved
As fast as they had ever moved
(I had to get away)
The haunting images repeated
(I had to get away)
My heart was beating spastically
My past was trailing behind me
(I had to get away)
But everyone knows
You can’t hide from your past
You can’t hide from your shadows
