We Run

The streets are crowded with a distant flow
Souls running, escaping from what we know
Traffic lights and dusty alleyways
The crevices in our mind
And we run, we run

So pack your bags and drink to your last stand
You know they will never really understand
The roads stretch into the distance
And your heart weighs so heavy
And we run, we all run

You slam the door and walk out of your mind
Only to find your pain can’t be left behind
Oh you cry, you cry so much
Bleeding feet won’t carry you
You run, but you come undone

One day those narrow lights beyond the glow
They’ll run with us and we’ll let go
Memories won’t kill you forever
The past is present but it lives
And you try, you try

And you get down on your knees, you pray
Maybe there’s some hope left for a brighter day
Its late and we’re tired, we’re so tired
But don’t you mind, baby, no
We try, but we will run

Oh we have nothing left now, we’re so bruised
Running along the same old street in the same old shoes
We all bleed from hurt, we all bleed from love
And when we’ve had too much to take
We run, just see us run
