Rubies With a Slice of Diamonds

I’m running around the world at not quite the speed of light but at the speed of night running at the rate that the world spins it’s always dark and oddly lit and the day never begins or the future that I need or tomorrow I’m running around the world at the speed of the future that I need I see the stars turn ruby red they shine down through a window pane like a slice of lemon instead of reflecting ruby red the day is nipping at my heels with tomorrow I’m running around the world like a shadow racing with the sun I feel compelled to run because no matter how far I run I can't find my way home
