Running to Stand Still- Braddigan



what makes me fall into darkness. not sure. but down, down, down, I go.
Sweet lyrics both put words and heal this apparent brokenness that comes and goes intensely:

RUNNING TO STAND STILL by Braddigan

so she woke up
woke up from where she was
lying still
saying i gotta do something about where were going
stepped on a steam train
out of the driving rain baby
run from the darkness in my mind
singing
a a la la light n day

sweet the sin
bitter taste
in my mouth
i see 7 towers
but i only see 1 way out
you gotta cry with out weeping
talk without speaking
scream without raising your voice
you know i took the poison
from the poison stream
and i floated out of here

she runs through the streets
her eyes painted red
under black belly cloud in the rain
in through doorway
she brings me those white golden peals
stolen from the sea
she is raging, she is raging
and the storm blows up in her eye
she will suffer the needle chill
shes running to stand still

im still running, im still running
im still running all the way home
im still running, im still running
im still running all the way home
