Anger is his only friend
He's been running since God-knows-when
Running from the world he had
Trying to find the life he lost

Running down the open road
He silently makes himself an oath
To never fall again
For the tricks that lead him here

Running forwards, but running back
He makes the same mistakes again
Trying to find a home for blame
Making the same mistakes again

His pack is light, his burden heavy
He strains under the weight
But still he keeps running on
Running from his fate

Running to his fate.

Some more of my older stuff, it's probably a couple of years old now. I don't like it quite as much, but I suppose that's for people to decide for themselves.
