How Far Can You Run


How far can you run
from the shadowless night
from the darkness that-swallows you in
and yet you still fight

How far can you run
from that deepest despair
that sorrowful claw that-
will not let go
that keeps pulling you away

Can you run
from that sentimental pain
the past that lurks
and the memory is torn

It is not that far
from the violent crimes of-the heart
the tears of the soul
that bring the spirit down

You cannot run
from the evil within
it persists to win you over
it strikes again and again
