    Story Behind the Song
    This one was written and recorded in 1993 in about three days, and done on a Yamaha 4-track! I was struggling with God on some issues. The idea is to be real, don't fake it , don't play games, especially with God. Just be transparent and honest, even if it means saying things that aren't "nice". I decided to master it to CD recently, so here it is.

    Lyrics
    used to think i knew, i don't know nothin'
    you want me to be real, i'll tell you somethin'
    i step outside and i take a look
    i'm wide open, read my book
    think i'll set myself down right here
    and share the darkness inside that's not so clear

    i'm runnin' away
    there's no good reason to stay, yeah

    are my actions inappropriate by finding solace
    in the things you create?
    can we just be friends right here and now?
    if that's possible can you show me how?
    how much flippin' pressure does it take
    to make a winnin' man out of me?
    and is it really inappropriate to find some solace
    in the things that you create?

    and i don't wanna play, an if i don't,
    you gonna throw the ball anyway? (solo)

    with one hand tied behind my back, the horizon's
    lookin' clearer
    or could it be my eyelids turning red from black
    in fear? gotta...be...real...

    i'm runnin' away
    give me a reason to stay
    i know i shouldn't run away, yeah
