Where have you run off too
Did those pressures of everyday life
Start to rip you apart
Like so many monsters from children's books
Was there a sudden vacuum
In your little world
Cutting off your air
Making rational thought impossible?
After all the things you achived
When everyone told you it was impossible
After all those times
When you thought those people were right
Did life finally kick you in the face
One time too many?
Too many worlds end way too prematurely
For you to throw yours away
Ask anyone who knew Owen
Who knew Brian
And they'll tell you
The same thing
And they'll probably also tell you
That letting this life kill you
Isn't the answer
Because this is what will happen
If you keep running away from it
Step away for a minute to
Catch your breath
Then face the creatures that you think
Are chasing you
And you'll find they aren't
Half as scary as you thought
They never are
