We don’t talk
We just pace around
And walk outside sometimes
I was dreaming
We would run
When we used to have some fun
I would catch you I would catch you
I was dreaming
Now it’s stale
Sit here watching days go by
Maybe later we will cry together
I was dreaming
Long may you run

Well she can't fly but she's like a bird
She's cynical but believes the words
On dormant days yeah she's overheard on the run
In quiet times yeah she thinks out loud, she thinks out loud
She's penniless but she wears a crown, she wears a crown
She's practical and she is not down when she smiles
The spinning laundry in her head
She never says just what she said
Well she can see but she's blinded by
She has a world that sits in her eye
She's curious but she doesn't fly on airplanes
In harmony yeah she's dissonant, dissonant
She has a bowl yeah she pissed in it, she pissed in it
She sings her song now with good intent every time
The hamster wheel inside her head
She never says just what she said
Hey girl

There he goes again
A dreamer, a killer
of dreams
Across an empty desert
The wind carries the screams
Always chasing
Always chasing
Always chasing something
There he goes again
A savior, a martyr
With a gun
Chasing the man in darkness
But why does he still run
Always chasing
Always chasing
Always chasing something
There he goes again
Again
Again
Always chasing
Always chasing
Always chasing something

ハシレ！ - Hashire! (Run)
by Shu Nakamura 2021
Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!…
Push forward forever
Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!…
Don't turn around, run through
To the end of the land, until the end of time
If you're alive, don't stop, endlessly, keep on running
Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!…
Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!…
To the end of the land, until the end of time
If you're alive, don't stop, endlessly, keep on running
Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!…

I used to wander
I used to roam
Don’t know how it happened
but the luck rained down, and I
Found myself a home
Some blame the sinner
Some blame the sin
but every time I fall she just raise me up
And the love comes pouring in
How can I tell you
How deep it all goes
so lost without you, I know
It’s the shield, it’s the shelter
It’s the hand the heavens dealt her
It’s the refuge that I run to
every night and every day
I will pray and I will praise you
I will lift and I will raise you
don’t know what I’d ever do
if you took your love away
And when she’s feeling lowly
When she’s breaking down
Gonna be right there, ready
Turn her lonely days around
Cause everybody got hunger
Everybody got pain
Everybody needs a hand to hold
When the sunshine turns to rain
How can I tell you
How deep it all goes
so lost without you, I know
It’s the shield, it’s the shelter
It’s the hand the heavens dealt her
It’s the refuge that I run to
every night and every day
I will pray and I will praise you
I will lift and I will raise you
don’t know what I’d ever do
if you took your love away

Remember when we were young and we didn't care
about the weight of the world
Ride your bike down the road jump off the dock at the lake
maybe try to kiss a girl
you got your license and a crappy car
and you drove what you thought was far
and you never never cared about the weight of the world
and tomorrow was a world away
it's not much these days but i still feel that way
sometimes as sunrise
when the colors blend all the yellows and reds
i still feel lucky sometimes
walk to the river and be alone
watch the ripples from the rocks I've thrown
and think about the paths that brought me here
and wonder where my path will go
If I could go back to being a boy
would I change a thing
all the ripples i've made with all the stones that I've thrown
but ways just lead on to ways
what about down the line when I'm older will i
still remember the days
maybe i'll find a picture of me as a boy
keep for always
hold it up to the rising sun
wade in the basin when my river's run
I'll still throw rocks in the water on my last day
maybe look in the mirror and say
If I could go back to being a boy
could i change a thing
all the ripples i've made with all the stones that i've thrown
but ways just lead on to ways

empty handed
sad to say
I had a chance
it slipped away
and here I stand
before you now
with sweaty hands and
furrowed brow
wondering what
price I’ll pay
for all the things
I didn’t say
and all the plans
I didn’t lay
while i watched the time
run out and
slip away
i just hope you see
you are everything to me
i know it’s never been enough
but when the pass was narrow
when the seas were rough
i was always there
with a full heart
and my empty hands

She Always Runs Away
Into the unknown
Oh, where will she go?
From the coup she’s flown
Chaos she has sown
She always runs away
Feels painful to stay
Into the unknown
Many shades of gray
Will you make her safe?
Will it all be ok?
She’s halfway out the door
Can you convince her to stay?
She always runs away
Feels painful to stay
Into the unknown
Many shades of gray
Checkin’ for the exit
Knowing that she’ll wreck it
If she stays one more minute
She always runs away
Feels painful to stay
Into the unknown
Many shades of gray

Earth is running under my feet
While I’m standing still
Cradle precious things wond’ring can it be
An ending or a start
Can you hear me through the debris
Held against my will
Breathless musing suffocating
Under Yggdrasil

Platinum Girl
Platinum Girl with her face in a magazine
Platinum Girl with her eyes on the trendiest scene
And you think that she’s over here
but she’s over there with her rented stare
She’s a Platinum Girl in a Platinum World
She’s a Platinum Girl in a Platinum World
It’s a Platinum World of lipstick red
and glittering eyes
It’s a Platinum World of Pink Champagne
and crooked smiles
And you think that she’s over here
but she’s over there with her rented stare
She’s a Platinum Girl in a Platinum World
She’s a Platinum Girl in a Platinum World
She runs with paper clowns blank checks and techno hounds
She spins around and then comes back again
She has so many friends she flirts with all the men
She spins around then comes back again
Platinum Girl with her nose in the Sunday Times
Platinum Girl Chamomile tea under Neon signs
And you think that she’s over here
but she’s over there with her rentedstare
She’s a Platinum Girl in a Platinum World
She’s a Platinum Girl in a Platinum World
She’s a Platinum Girl in a Platinum World
She’s a Platinum Girl in a Platinum World

(Chorus)
Where you going’ my son?
Where you gonna run?
What’s that you been hidin’ from?
Is it love?
Aint no message in a bottle
Or a letter from afar
Not on some distant planet
Not need to look to far
Cross the oceans or deserts
She’ll be in your heart
When her charm just washes over ya
You’ll know just where you are
You’re in love
(Chorus)
Breakin’ down
Broken hearts
Broken up
and torn apart
We were one
When we were young
You had my heart
Right from the start
(you’re the only one)

I got a bone to pick
With Punxsutawney Phil
They say he woke up this mornin’
Bout seven a.m.
Saw the sun in the sky
His shadow on the ground
And he ran and he hid
Like a dadblamed coward
He called for six more weeks
Of achin’ in my bones
High heatin’ bills
And shovelin’ snow
He might think it’s clever
But this ain’t no joke
I can’t keep gettin’ out of bed
In the bitter, frigid cold
I got a bone to pick
With Punxsutawney Phil
I got rivers to fish
And patties to grill
I got a bone to pick
With Punxsutawney Phil
He says six more weeks
I say not this year
A hundred thirty-four years
He’s been callin the shots
It might be time to retire
And quit breakin our hearts
They say groundhog punch
Is the fountain of youth
But now I’m wonderin bout the perks
Of groundhog stew
He called for six more weeks
Of achin’ in my bones
High heatin’ bills
And shovelin’ snow
I don’t know bout the weather
Out at Gobbler’s Knob
But I know a little groundhog
That needs another job
I got a bone to pick
With Punxsutawney Phil
I got rivers to fish
And patties to grill
I got a bone to pick
With Punxsutawney Phil
He says six more weeks
I say not this year

SURVIVE
I was just 19, tall skinny and green
When I landed at Truong Lam
Saw more in 2 years than you should in 10 lifetimes
Dodged death till I did not give a damn
Still I knelt and kissed the tarmac
That night back home I arrived
I knew I’d that no matter what came
I was gonna survive
I smuggled cigarettes North up from the South
Been halfway beat to kingdom come
Had a .44 muzzle pushed in my mouth
Cocked back by a shaky thumb
But I kept on going, pushing on past
Nobody gonna kill my drive
I’ll do what I gotta do to make it through
You know somehow, I’m a gonna survive
I’ve done gone 5 million miles
Six continents, and every state
You think I would be slowing down
Find family and God ‘fore it’s too late
Though every bad thing someday ends
The pavement stops on every run
I’ll keep on going till I’m not
I ain’t done till I say I’m done
I’m like an alligator snapper lurking
Way down in his ancient muddy lair
Anything trying to mess with me
I’m old and mean, and don’t fight fair
Taken every hit them all can dish out
And somehow I’m still alive
So world, please leave alone my stringy sinew and bone
Cuz whatever you got in mind, I’ll survive
