Running
Verbal Assault Lyrics

I'm running out of time
I am pressed for time

Forced to decide
The situation demands a decision

To choose the beat path
To pick the well-trodden path

Or to feel the wrath
Or face the consequences

When I take a different ride
If I choose a different approach

There's nothing in this world
There's nothing mandatory in life

That you have to do
That you are compelled to do

To be frightened by tradition
To be fearful of customary ways

Is a cheap excuse
Is an unacceptable justification

I, I realize
I strongly comprehend

I, I sympathize
I deeply understand

But we can't live with those lies
But we cannot continue on those pretexts

And you won't always be sure
And there's no certainty

When your judgments seem pure
When you think your decisions are without flaw

Every choice you make
Every decision you take

Could be a mistake
Could be a misstep

But at least they were yours
But at least those are yours to make

Complain that you can't win
You rue that you cannot succeed

When you've chosen to fit in
When you picked to assimilate

Responsibility's gone
The duty is absent

I know that's wrong
I know that's erroneous

Conformity can be a sin
Compliance can be a wrongdoing

Now I judge on my own scales
Now I appraise things on my own criteria

So I know when I have failed
So that I understand when I stumble

The decisions are mine
The verdicts belong to me

I'll take my time
I'll deliberate at leisure

Only it will surely tell
Only time will reveal
