Today you outrun the cloud
always fighting,
always running
it’s fine if you white-out
Today you outrun the cloud
[-]
Today you shove the cloud away
lungs inhaling,
throat burning
it’s fine if you fall down
Today you shove the cloud away
[-]
Today you laugh out loud
liquor flowing
voices shouting
is black, the soul you puke
Today you laugh out loud
[-]
Some days, the cloud just wins
but then, those days it seems
you're always on your own
the run is all you've known.
