Under the Cold Street Lights

Nostalgia is such a muthafuckin bitch.

I'm tired. I'm sad. I keep thinking if I cry I'll feel better.
But instead of crying I just want to run.

If I run fast enough the world can't catch.
At least they haven't yet.

I make my own future.
Fuck fate.

Is the idea of leaving life up to chance less terrifying?
No.
But I'll do it anyway.  Because I will not be controlled.

I will not be controlled by memories of Richman anymore than I was ever controlled by him.
I will not be controlled by Josh, society, or my job.

I will not be controlled by my past anymore than i will be condemned by it.
Fuck it.

I run. I'm free. I will always be free until I decide I'm done with it.

People, this is why you don't want me.  This is why I can't be with you.
I can't settle down.
I'm a bolter.

Am I happy?
Yeah.  Will that stop me from running?  No.  Maybe I'm crazy.
Or maybe I'm afraid of being left.  All I know is that I can't open up.  No one has my whole heart.  No one has me.

They exist with the illusion of me slipping in and out of their grasp.
And that's how I like it.

Don't be afraid to get down say
I don't wanna be in love.
I don't wanna be in love.
