Keep You From Runnin'
[Hook: Marceline]
I keep looking for you but you're just too far away
I can't keep you
And I'm holding on but I know that you can't stay
I can't keep you from runnin, runnin'
I can't keep you from runnin, runnin'
I can't keep you from runnin'
[Verse 1: Nalyd Ecitsuj]
Bullied most my life, but I survived it all
Beat up and pushed around ate cold pizza in a stall
But I always survived the fall
And stood up again, never been the one to pretend to bend to another’s demand
Regardless of where he lay his hand
I always plotted my next stand
But what can one boy do against a band
Tight knit group of thugs
No love, dedicated to the cause of my pain
And somehow the kid they beat up was always the one to blame
The social outcast but everybody knew his name
Too dumb to be a geek, To sad to even sleep
They would beat me with words to the point it's beyond belief
I was the sheep and them the wolves
Tell me this,Tell me that, IT was so uncool
It got worse tuned teen started saying fuck the earth
Those where the days my skepticism was birthed
Rebelling against hurt
Fighting fire with fire, I'm in shambles but you'll never know it I guess I'm a good liar
[Verse 2: Nalyd Ecitsuj]
Instead I gritted my teeth through the pain
As those bullies played there sick and twisted game
I survived
Me, the one kid in the crowd
Maybe I just have the willpower now and a working mind to find my grind
And deal with the hell that was in front of me
As other bullies chimed in and gave me more punishm-e-n-t
Lined up and denied me pleasantry
Never to spare me kindness
Neer kind they destroyed my faith in other people, made me blind to anyhelping hands
But don’t kid yourself, there where no helping hands
Just more fists with a message that I didn’t deserve
Crying myself to sleep every night
Thinking why did they have the right
And the most fucked up thing of all,They didn’t
I just didn’t fight back
I was the easiest to sack
Smack his back,Beat his ass
So hard my eyes would turn black
Depressed at seven, Suicidal at eleven
Just a lonely kid, merely a stain on the life of everyone else
Just another face in the crowd
Looking at the shitty hand of cards he was dealt
Carried off the playground into the street
Smashed Dylans face to the concrete
Until my only option was to concede to defeat
Wait til' the next day for the cycle to repeat
And even now my mind tries to delete the memories damn
But now I realize it completes who I am
I am the man that survived
I am the master of me, and my past is what shaped me
I am the strength that I always sought for in somebody else
I am drawing new cards to the orignal hand dealt
I felt unconquerable uncontrollable
Gulible to my shelted loner bubble
My destiny is my own and my past is but a memory serving to remind me
That no matter how hard things are I will always overcome
Go ahead deny me
I’ve become the person I’ve always wanted me to be
