I walk down to the riverside
And I hold you in my stare
And if you somehow tear away my pride
I'll still be standing there
I wait until the sun flies by
And I open up my mind
I think about the things I've tried
But I have failed to find

You run into the darkness
You try to fight but you are harmless
And every day you try to make it
But I don't care if you can't take it

I ride down to the corner shop
And I go to get some food
I run and they tell me to stop
But I'm really not in the mood
Here's a lesson that you must learn
And I am going to teach
Some things in life you've got to earn
And they're never gonna be cheap
It's time to for you to break away
From the nothing you've become
I think you've got to make your way
And you should probably run
Your mind is looking really gray
Cos you don't know what to do
You try the same thing every day
But it'll still come back to you

You run into the darkness
You try to fight but you are harmless
And every day you try to make it
But I don't care if you can't take it
