RUN


Running Always Running Running somewhere, running nowhere Sprinting, faster faster faster FASTER Eyes set on a prize that does not exist The only thing waiting is DISASTER Running Always Running I do not know where the finish line lies I know I have to find it. I NEED TO Searching as I move, looking all around But it is a blur, GREYREDGREENBLUE Running Always Running I know it can't end well, when I am done We all end up at the same place, DEAD My feet keep moving, pushing me on My trail is marked, I may have BLED Running Always Running It is as if fleeing is the only solution The faster you go is all the BETTER But really you can't avoid the end It's all written out, to the LETTER Running Alwa..Why don't I slow down?
