Who's Running?

So for those of you who asked what the lyrics to "She's Running" are, I'm posting them below. Some of you have asked who this song is about, so here it is...this song is about Amy, but not for Amy. That part of my life has long past and isn't an issue anymore because of all the time it took to get between writing the song, arranging it, recording, and mixing it. Nevertheless, it was an issue at one point in time and writing a song about my experience was how I coped with it. The bulk of the song was written over the summer in my time in Nashville, but the last parts were written directly to my good friend Tim, who I hope pulls out of this mess...but separate from my siutation, I think everyone (guys especially) can relate. We all know that insecure girl that causes herself problems and can't let anyone love her because she can't love herself and is willing to do anything to get attention, "She doesn't want the love that you give, she wants your pity...you'll be sorry...it's too late..." Even though this song seems hopeless, I'm long past the place I was in when those words came out and have moved on to other things in life...my current work is producing and engineering (and possibly writing) with new artists "Urban Derivatives." The other vocals on "She's Running" are Jesse Pennington of the new emo sensation "Pennington" and Cathryn Krause, a friend here at school. The synth was a joint work of myself and my former roomie, Ryan Love, and the drums and guitars are courtesy of rock genius Dan Wright. Everything else (piano, programming, noise, etc...) is by me...Anyway, here are the lyrics:

She's Running
by Rod Kim

She runs into herself everynight,
Walking down dim empty streets.
She's finding more of herself everytime,
Always fighting with what she sees.

And she's crying,
And she's hurting,
Somewhere she's dying inside...

She's running,
She can't get away.
She's needing,
More than the words you say...
She's running...away...

She grips her demons every night,
shares a bed with her enemies.
She's killing more of herself everytime,
Dying in her own arms.

And she's falling,
And she's drowning,
She's suffocating inside...

She's running,
She can't get away.
She's needing,
More than the words you say...
She's running...

She can't let go of yesterday,
She wants to live it over and over again.
She doesn't want the love that you give,
She wants your pity...you'll be sorry...

It's too late...

She's running...away.

=====================
Well, that's it for now...
Later,
-Rod
