Run Away

there are some things in life id rather do without
there are just so many items of interest to others that hold no interest for me
i am weary of everybody
and everyone is weary of me
look at love on that mountain top
i have no time to climb it
i'll wait for the avalanche to come tumbling down
and with it falls the needed joy
there are some things in life id rather do without
the effort and pain it takes to pursue
over and over up on punishment of rejection
missed chances
diabolical disasters disguised dilligently in dread
maybe im being melodramatic
maybe im being me
maybe the pretentious creature that flows out of my saliva
really does pack a sting
there are some things in life i could do without
but not your smile
not your eyes
not your touch
or the dream of it all
up on that mountain top
hellfire and brimstone are what stand between us
but ill walk over the embers in socked feet
and no shoes
burned and burning and dying and dead
gone beyond just because i tried to prove the end
im scared of chances
because of the leaps i've taken
and pratfalls are many and good for laughs now and then
but who calls the shots
