Gains

I’ve been running round in circles
Running til I can’t feel my pain
All around me everyone is moving with purpose
Trying to turn disaster into gains

The wealth that has gone to other hands
Slipping away like sand

And if there’s anything to be made out of this crisis
I’m damn sure none of it will be coming my way

Your instincts are revealed

Lately I’ve been watching people’s eyes
The way they squint in place of a smile

I went running round in circles
Until I felt nothing but pain
