lyrics

Running Blind

you don’t wanna see pain
you don’t wanna see pain
you don’t wanna see pain
so you close your eyes up tight

and you run the other way
and you run the other way
and you run the other way
and you lock yourself inside

but there ain’t no way to hide
from the storms outside
ain’t no lock or no blinds
ever gonna save your life
all the windows and blinds
all the television lies
they won’t help you child

cuz there ain’t no way to feel
ain’t no way to see
ain’t no way to survive
running blind

you don’t ever wanna bleed
you don’t ever wanna bleed
no you never wanna bleed
so you cut and stab and fight

and you spread that poison seed
and you spread that poison seed
and you plant that poison seed
and it grows deep and far and wide

but there ain’t no way to hide
from the storms outside
ain’t no gun, ain’t no knife
ever gonna save your life
all the tanks and the mines
all the military lies
they won’t help you child

cuz there ain’t no way to feel
ain’t no way to see
ain’t no way to survive
if you’re running blind

you don’t ever wanna need
you don’t ever wanna need
no you never wanna need
so you steal and take and buy

and you speak of hate and greed
and you speak of hate and greed
Lord, you speak of hate and greed
but you’re hollowed out inside

and there ain’t no way to hide
from the storms outside
ain’t no gun or no knife
ever gonna save your life
all the suits and the ties
all the lipstick and the style
they won’t help you child

cuz there ain’t no way to feel
ain’t no way to see
ain’t no way to survive
running blind
