So Long Farewell I'm Gone

When I was young
I decided I was weird
Seemed all together
But something was wrong
People disagree but I couldn't hear it
I never met a man that could prove me wrong

So I've been running for a thousand years
'Cause I kept thinking it would make me strong
But the voices followed, clipped the back of my heels
'Til I tripped up and couldn't go on
Yeah, I couldn't go on

Stick around long enough to outrun the fear
Time moves slow when you move so quick
Sneakers go rose, blown up in a big war
Thousand-year lives run deep in my cheek

So I've been running for a thousand years
'Cause I kept thinking it would make me strong
But the voices followed, clipped the back of my heels
'Til I tripped up and couldn't go on
Yeah, I couldn't go on

So long, farewell, farewell, I'm gone
So long, farewell, I'm gone
