Run Words: David Burr Music: David Burr, Jody Dietz Drowning alone in self pity All the forms you embraced Leaving a trail of blank stares You'd run from the human race To fall back on something or someone To lift you up out of the dark abyss Always seemed weak to you Your silence became everything The only life you knew held fear And thrived on turmoil And how you danced your way around the lie The drain and the remorse Can you handle the free will Or will you run yourself into the ground Will you run from all people And dwell in this fallen home Stay with the rain and the comfort Stay where nothing can challenge you Gray out in this ordinary refuge And dwell in this fallen home Unable to see any promise And acting in self interest Swimming in an innocence That led to a dangerous end And life as a double-edged sword Would suddenly vanish without a trace You stayed in your own inner world And studied a world in decline You found your only peace in sleep And with each new day How you danced your way around the lie The pain and the divorce |
