Well here I am, still on the run
Living the ongoing escape to paradise
Not knowing where it had begun
Wandered beyond the point of no return
Pushed by blurred dissatisfied ties
If only I could find a soul to delve
But I can’t dig through myself
Within I’m without myself

Fleeing from regret and pain
Chased by obstacles and shame – Showing me the way to paradise
Scared by the character I’ve always played
The thoughts I hear, the things I say – Guiding me the way to paradise
On the run from something worse than me
Running away from what I truly could be

Distanced from any home and past
This silhouette merges into the golden skies
Crashes the lightning to finally blast
And begs to disintegrate inside
Seeing the fragments of paradise
If only one of these could reconcile
Being a little of myself
Proved to be more of myself

Fleeing from regret and pain
Chased by obstacles and shame – Showing me the way to paradise
Scared by the character I’ve always played
The thoughts I hear, the things I say – Guiding me the way to paradise
On the run from something worse than me
Running away from what I truly could be

Running as fast as I can
But the escape remains ahead
Paradise turns out to be what I am
Something I never have met
Staring at the skies – with the eyes in the back of my head

Hiding from regret and pain
Chased by obstacles and shame – Leading me the way to paradise
Scared by the character I’ve always played
The thoughts I hear, the things I say – Kicking me the way to paradise
Still on the run from the very worst of me
Running away from what I truly should be

Running from what you ever have told and seen
