Can't Outrun These Clouds
Run, faster faster, no respite
no time to relax
no time to stop.
These clouds approach again,
but the umbra of their gloom
has already taken me.
Beat beat beat, my heart drums
as I can't outrun these clouds.
I thought I had escaped
I thought I could relax
I thought I could sleep.
No.
The clouds linger
and follow me still
even as I leave,
even as I'm gone.
I am weary and nearly broken.
I have toiled under this gloom -
under these clouds
too long, way too long.
I long for the sun
I long for the clarity of sky
I long for a chance to stop
I long for escape -
to get away, far away,
from it all.
But these clouds haunt me
even while I'm away.
I just can't seem
to outrun these clouds.
Soon they will overtake me
again . . .
Should I give up?
Just let these clouds
engulf my sky?
I just . . .
can't outrun these clouds.
Run, faster faster, no respite
no time to relax
no time to stop.
These clouds approach again,
but the umbra of their gloom
has already taken me.
Beat beat beat, my heart drums
as I can't outrun these clouds.
I thought I had escaped
I thought I could relax
I thought I could sleep.
No.
The clouds linger
and follow me still
even as I leave,
even as I'm gone.
I am weary and nearly broken.
I have toiled under this gloom -
under these clouds
too long, way too long.
I long for the sun
I long for the clarity of sky
I long for a chance to stop
I long for escape -
to get away, far away,
from it all.
But these clouds haunt me
even while I'm away.
I just can't seem
to outrun these clouds.
Soon they will overtake me
again . . .

Just let these clouds
engulf my sky?
I just . . .
can't outrun these clouds.

It will need to get very dark and cloudy with lots of rain before the clear blue sky appears again. Do your best to just wait the gloom out.
Sounds like you're needing an umbrella or you're going through a difficult time where you just can't seem to get past everything that is calling out to you! Good luck!
