The Runner and the Guard by Danie Ferrusi Lyrics

Packed away inside every system is revelations tamed
Tucked away

And I am of the guilty party who numbs the arteries of greater gain
With "what could’ve been..."

Lives on dissection tables tryin’ find the motives in the play
It’s just a dead-ending, oh oh oh

And how dare you try to take me down? This is all on you
And I fought, yeah, because I thought you wanted me to
And it’s quiet as a whisper, the way you cut me out
You pack up and do a runner, anytime that you’re in doubt

Belief in bonds, what a waste on me
Prison cell, steel bars, a lock and key
I’m gonna pass it up
I was no guard
I wasn’t actin’ up
Wasn’t pushing you hard
I was a safety-net
I wasn’t a guard
I wasn’t a guard
I wasn’t a guard
I wasn’t a guard
