Running to Stand Still - Block Group

And so she woke up

She woke up

From where

She was lying still.

Said

I gotta do something

About

Where we’re going.

Step on a fast train

Step out

Of the driving rain

Maybe

Run

From the darkness

In the night.

Singing ah

Ah la la la de day

Ah la la la de day.

Sweet the sin

Bitter the taste

In my mouth.

I see seven towers

But I only see

One way out.

You gotta cry

Without weeping

Talk

Without speaking

Scream

Without raising

Your voice.

You know

I took the poison

From

the poison stream

Then I floated

Out of here, singing

ah la la la de day

ah la la la de day.

She walks

Through the streets

With her eyes

Painted red

Under black belly

Of cloud in the rain.

In through a doorway

She brings me

White golden pearls

Stolen from the sea.

She is ragin'

She is ragin'

And the storm

Blows up

In her eyes.

She will suffer

The needle chill

She’s running

To stand still
