mary have mercy now look what i’ve done
but don’t blame me because i can’t tell where i come from
and running is something that we’ve always done
well and mostly i can’t even tell what i’m running from
i run from their pity
from responsibility
run from the country
and run from the city
i can run from the law
i can run from myself
i can run for my life
i can run into debt
i can run from it all
i can run till i’m gone
i can run for the office
and run from the ‘cause
i can run using every last ounce of energy
i cannot
i cannot
i cannot
run from my family
they’re hiding inside me
corpses on ice
come in if you’d like
but just don’t tell my family
they’d never forgive me
they’ll say that i’m crazy
but they would say anything if it would
shut me up.....
Why did I do it? I should've known it was bad news when Leigh showed up in my life again.
I never could say no.
Why can't I say no? Why do I do these things? Why do I always fuck up? Why can't I just take care of myself and things that I need to?
But I had to go there, didn't I? Three days of nothing but sweat, drugs, and wrong. It's like there's something dark inside of me that I can't get rid of and no matter how many things I do that make me sick, it won't be appeased. And I can't STOP.
two halves are equal
a cross between two evils
it's not an enviable lot
but if you listen
you'll learn to hear the difference
between the halfs and the half nots
and when i let him in i feel my stitches getting sicker
i try to wash him out but like she said:the blood is thicker
i see my mother in my face
but only when i travel
i run as fast as i can run
but
jack comes tumbling after....
Fuck you, Mad Jack Byron. I always blamed Mom for most of it, but fuck you. This is your fault. You're the reason I'm fucked up the way I am.
