Running
Pete Gooding & James Doman feat. Dru Lyrics

Running away like a river
I am leaving everything behind and trying to disappear, just like a river running away from its source.

Floating through time like a ghost
I am just aimlessly wandering through life, as if I am not really there, much like a ghost who cannot interact with the world around them.

Hiding my eyes like a killer
I don't want to be seen or recognized by anyone, like a murderer who is trying to cover their tracks.

Or the sinner who fears God the most
I am consumed by guilt and feel like I have done something unforgivable, like a person who considers themselves to be the worst sinner of them all.

Crying inside like a widow
I am deeply grieving on the inside, like a woman who has lost her husband and is left alone to cry.

But standing my ground like a man
Despite my internal struggle, I am trying to remain strong and resolute, like a man who refuses to back down from a challenge.

Watching the rain through the window
I am watching the water pour down, as if it's a reflection of the sadness and turmoil inside of me, from the safety of my window.

But praying the sun shines again
At the same time, I am hoping that things will get better and my life will brighten up again, just like the sun eventually comes out after a storm.

I fall asleep like a baby
Despite the overwhelming emotions I am experiencing, I am able to peacefully drift off to sleep, much like a baby who is tired and content.

I wake up in hell with the damned
When I wake up, though, my reality is still a nightmare, like I am living in my own personal hell alongside all the other sinners.

As I swear to God I'm not guilty oh
Even though I may be innocent in a legal sense, I still feel guilty and weighed down by my own actions and the consequences that come with them.

The voices they tell me I am
The internal voices that haunt me and remind me of my shortcomings are sometimes too loud to ignore and make me feel even more hopeless.

So I'm running away like a river
As a result, I continue to try and escape from everything and everyone, much like a river that perpetually runs away from its source.

And oh my cold hand on the gun
I am tormented by intense feelings of fear, anxiety, and sadness, which are physically manifest in the form of a cold sweat and a trembling hand holding a gun.

And Oh-oh-oh where is the sun
Despite my best efforts to remain hopeful, I am at a loss as to how to find happiness and light in my life.

Running away like a river
As a result, I am still constantly trying to escape, with nothing to ground me and provide stability.

Floating through time like a ghost
I am still wandering aimlessly through life, disconnected from the world around me, like a ghost who cannot interact and engage.

Hiding my eyes like a killer
I am still trying to avoid responsibility and any sort of accountability, like someone who has committed a terrible crime and is trying to cover their tracks.

Or the sinner who fears God the most
I am still consumed by my own guilt and feel like I am the worst kind of sinner, one who is afraid of his own maker.
