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?
