I'm just trying to outrun it,
while I know it's catching up
And I'm taking all the wrong turns,
didn't know, I need a map
And I'm still trying harder every day
Won't give up hope, I'll find a way
But running fast won't do the deed
Cause behind me, it's gaining speed
So what's my path, what should I do?
The answer, I don't know, I'm asking you
So I keep running, running away
Unaware of the price I'll pay
The reality of the truth I deny
Gaining in power, each day that goes by
The beast inside, a part of me,
Chasing, relentless, it's all I see.
The truth I deny, its power does grow,
That inner monster, will it ever slow?
Caught in a relentless chase, trying to break free,
But the monster within, it shadows me
So, what's the way, the path I seek?
The answers elusive, are making me weak
The creature inside, a part of my soul,
Lurking in shadows, consuming it all
With every step, it echoes my fears,
An endless torture, that's drowned me in tears
I strive to escape with each break of day,
yet it keeps gaining ground, along the way
I seek a save place, bathed in light,
To escape the grasp of this endless night
The creature within, it's lurking close,
The relentless fear, the pain I chose
I try to escape, while knowing I can never
Cause it's a dark part of my own soul that will haunt me forever
