don't stop running
don't stop to catch your breath
I don't want to be anywhere
I need to be distracted
take me from the things that want to keep me here
I'll drive to wild places to finally find
I have never been left behind
dream away
there's somewhere else to go
dream away
there's somewhere else to be
dream away
lose everything you know
dream away
why can't this be a dream
I'm afraid I've broken
all your precious bottles
and made myself a statue
a living, eviscerated me
it belongs to the world, you see
I set it free to run with the crowd
and be nothing more than happy
and you, you just watch me
I'll show you how this works
I'll be the greatest mountain
to appear upon the earth
but don't climb me, no, you can't climb me
I'll be untouchable unreachable
and finally alone
