lyrics
I dressed you in flames,
Ashes in your mouth;
You burn my eyes, my body,
But my head is full of clouds and rain.
I dreamt up a wave
To sweep us from these shores;
Like crumbled shells we'd surface
And the pain would drift silently away.
I'd swim for miles but every time I'd breathe
I'd know I could feel you drown.
My best escape is everywhere I run
I feel that you run me down.
I followed you first
I was so inclined
To be your steel-eyed savior
But I was only hunger and thirst.
I followed the song;
Listened for the notes
Of love that runs with reason
But my mind was made up wrong.
My best mistake was to everyone I turned
I took it they'd turn me down.
You took my word but everything I said
Was spoken to hear the sound.
I turned away now everywhere I turn
I feel that I'm turned around.
My best escape is everywhere I run
I feel that you run me down.
Ashes in your mouth;
You burn my eyes, my body,
But my head is full of clouds and rain.
I dreamt up a wave
To sweep us from these shores;
Like crumbled shells we'd surface
And the pain would drift silently away.
I'd swim for miles but every time I'd breathe
I'd know I could feel you drown.
My best escape is everywhere I run
I feel that you run me down.
I followed you first
I was so inclined
To be your steel-eyed savior
But I was only hunger and thirst.
I followed the song;
Listened for the notes
Of love that runs with reason
But my mind was made up wrong.
My best mistake was to everyone I turned
I took it they'd turn me down.
You took my word but everything I said
Was spoken to hear the sound.
I turned away now everywhere I turn
I feel that I'm turned around.
My best escape is everywhere I run
I feel that you run me down.
