post the hundred-sixty-ninth, 2013

i run a lonely road -
it's the only road i've ever known.
i know just where it goes -
this road is home, and i run alone.

i run this crowded street -
on the boulevard of hidden dreams -
and every one i see,
sees me run and knows i run alone.

i run alone.

my shadow's the only one that runs beside me.
my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
sometimes i wish someone up there will find me -
'til then i run alone.

i'm running down the line
that divides me somewhere in my mind -
on that border line, on that edge
is where i run alone.

caught up in my mind,
all at once fucked up and still alright.
check my vital signs to know i'm still alive
and i run alone.

i run alone.

my shadow's the only one that runs beside me.
my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
sometimes i wish someone up there will find me -
'til then i run alone.

i run alone.

i run this crowded street -
on the boulevard of hidden dreams -
and every one i see,
sees me run and knows i run alone.

i run alone.
