It's Easier to Run

There's a pit that I find myself in
Time and time again
It's dark and grungy, soiled and lonely,
Eight feet deep
And I can feel my death loitering
Lingering, lobbying, luring me
Calling me, singing my name
And it's all because of you
And this life that you lead me to
You're so perfect I can never compare to you
So I keep f a i l i n g and
falling
Eight feet deep
Crying and calling
pleasecomerescueme
But it's silence I'm steeped in
Your voice is now so foreign
I forget what it's like to be held by your love
And instead I'm wrapped in depression
Despair, demise, destruction
Are the blankets that cover me
But I'd rather taste death
Than live my life without your company
And it's in these moments that I say

It's easier to run
To put you in the past
To turn my back, pick up my sack
Pretend you never were

It's easier to run
Because it's then when I feel numb
I no more feel the pain and shame
That come with knowing your love

It's easier to run
Cause naturally I'm cowardly
But I won't, dear God, I promise I won't
Because I know you're faithful to me
And faithful you will forever be
