Tired Eyes

Run Towards the Rising Sun

02/22/11

First the pain.

Does the pain still come first?

Do you still believe tomorrow may not get better,

that it may be worse?

Have you Tried Eyes,yet to run from the abuse?

Have you yet to run from all the pain?

Is all hope really lost

and will it all be in vain?

Must you keep dodging and fighting the punches?

Must you hide all these scars with long sleeves upon your wrists?

Are you not tired from dodging his fists?

Get away Tired Eyes!

Please,will you just run?

No more looking back to see if he's there.

Just aim towards the rising sun.

Go on…..go on and run.

Hide amidst the tree and brush,

but no more shall you stay Tired Eyes.

Hurry now Tired Eyes,Hurry!Rush!

Your dreams are awaiting you in the rushing flood,

descending down a mountain cliff of love.

You no longer have to look down at your feet,

ashamed of yourself,ashamed in your own eyes,

and what lies beneath.

No longer do you have to walk looking down.

Afraid others will see what's in disguise?

No matter Tired Eyes,no matter….yes,you love your Father,I surmise.

But no more pain do you have to bear.

Just know where there's love,there's safety there.

No more tears do you shed.

No more scars to be hid.

To see so much blood that was shed,

shed by one man.

That's it Tired Eyes!

Yes,pack! Pack and leave.

Dry your eyes with the edges of your sleeves.

Yes Tired Eyes,ho for the window.

No more tears should you shed in your pillow.

Just run Towards the Rising sun.

Tired Eyes you got it,run!

Feel the air in your lungs.

Feel the presence in the air.

Stay towards that rising sun.

That's it….. you're almost there.

Run until you run into sand.

Get in that boat til you no longer see land.

Wash away all hurt and pain,watch the crashing waves.

Just run Tired Eyes,until you can no longer swim nor stand.

Run t

il you see where love is.

Run Tired Eyes,that's it run!
