Runnin'
Masaya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Runnin' from my shadows burning knees
Darkness clouded my sight hard to see
Time she keeps on pushing killing me
Try to take on my mind
Pulling pulling strings

You will try to bring me down
But know I'll be

Runnin' runnin' can't stop me
I cross the border to land
You came along but too late
Cause I crossed the border to the land
It seems that you can't find me
I'm on my way into the land
I'm on my way into the land
I'm on my way into the land

I see the darkness in you
But I know the light within me
Poison silhouette wrapped around
I can't breathe
I can't breathe
I can't breathe

You will try to bring me down but know
I'll be

Runnin' runnin' can't stop me
I cross the border to land
You came along but too late
Cause I crossed the border to the land
It seems that you can't find me
I'm on my way into the land
I'm on my way into the land
I'm on my way into the land

Oh oh
Cause I'm running, cause I'm running hey
Cause I'm runnin' runnin' can't stop me
I cross the border to land
You came along but too late
Cause I crossed the border to the land

Runnin' runnin' can't stop me
I cross the border to land
You came along too late
Cause I crossed the border to the land

It seems that you can't find me
Cause I'm on my way to the land




I'm on my way to the land oh
Cause I'm on my way
