Running Blind

Ruffians


You're out running blind on the street
Seeking danger your only belief
An ambition that thrives in the night
To win is to fight for your life

It's a game and it's hard to believe
It's a gangland a dreaded disease
So when you're running home late at night
Take a chance you'll make it alive

You run, but there's no place to hide
From the prowler who stalks by your side
He's a demon whose thoughts can control
Your future at the foot of his throne

He, he is in you, he is you and you are him
You two together forever till the end

Running blind without a goal
Running blind no place to go
No vision of the truth to be found
No place to hang your fears
No place to dry your tears
Where do you think you'll go from here?

And if you find a place that's open to you
Don't believe it's the right thing to do
You can find yourself alone in the dark
And fall victim to a stranger's mark
But you're running and blinded with fear
Your footsteps are all you can hear
It's your shadow chasing you in the night
It's the one thing that's blinded your sight

Running blind without a goal
Running blind no place to go
No vision of the truth to be found
No place to hang your fears
No place to dry your tears
Where do you think you'll go from here?
