MER GIRL
I ran from my house/
That cannot contain me/
From the man that I cannot keep/
From my mother who haunts me/
Even though she's gone/
From my daughter that never sleeps/
I ran from the noise and the silence/
From the traffic on the streets/
I ran to the treetops/
I ran to the sky/
out to the lake/
into the rain/
that matted my hair/
And soaked my shoes and skin/
Hid my tears, hid my fears/
I ran to the forest/
I ran to the trees/
I ran and ran/
I was looking for me/
I ran past the churches/
And the crooked old mailbox/
Past the apple orchards/
And the lady that never talks/
Up into the hills/
I ran to the cemetery/
And held my breath/
And thought about your death/
I ran to the lake/
Up into the hills/
I ran and I ran/
I'm looking there still/
And I saw the crumbling tombstones/
The forgotten names/
I tasted the rain/
I tasted my tears/
I cursed the angels/
I tasted my fears/
And the ground gave way beneath my feet/
And the earth took me in her arms/
Leaves covered my face/
Ants marched across my back/
The black sky opened up/
Blinding me/
I ran to the forest/
I ran to the trees/
I ran and I ran/
I was looking for me/
I ran to the lakes/
And up to the hill/
I ran and I ran/
I'm looking there still/
And I smelt her burning flesh/
Her rotting bones/
Her decay/
I ran and I ran/
I'm still running today//
