Runaway Train

Sometimes, i feel like this song.

Runaway Train - Soul Asylum

Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

CHORUS

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

If you watched the video on youtube, it's used to bring awareness to the public about missing children and teenagers.

Runaway train, where are they? Sometimes, i look around and see that even in kids; my cousins, nieces, nephews... their eyes depict a certain kind of sadness. And then we wonder why some of them self- inflict hurt, why some of them grow up as problematic teenagers, why some of them have no opinion or ground of their own, why some parents do not treat their children with respect and love they're due.

During the 10th anniversary--for lack of better word- of the Columbian school shooting, one of the parents of the shooting victim was being interviewed, and he said something along those words, when asked if he was enraged,

"I do not blame the kid who did this. There isn't anyone to blame in this. It's just that...we've lost God."
