Dead End

Quicken my pace, running from what's true.
Can't think of anything, besides you.
Blast up the music, run from what's real.
Faster and faster, to escape how I feel.
Your voice taunts me, I must push it back.
Running from the day, into the night of black.
Through the woods, and anything in my way.
Because I've got to push back, thoughts that threaten to stay.
The beating in my heart, it has to slow down.
Running everywhere, through this lonely town.
Butterflies in my stomach, they should be dead.
As well as the thoughts, filling my heart and head.
Can't do it anymore, the road's run out.
Dead ends, that's all this life is all about.
Falling to my knees, trying to keep it locked inside.
But there's nowhere else for the feelings to hide.
Dial your number, just to hang up the phone.
Dead end road, and I'm left alone.
With nothing but the truth, that fills up my soul.
Nothing but the love, that's got nothing but control.
Couldn't run fast enough, couldn't give enough excuses.
And now it's filling up my body, and lies are so useless.
From a million miles away, anybody could hear my heart.
It's been screaming your name, since this race had to start.
