lyrics
If I keep running with my all,
All I can muster 'til I fall,
Prey to what's behind me,
Will it have mercy on my soul?
Soul deep I promise not crawl,
Crawl on, you won't find me,
And god damn this rotten smell in here,
Five bucks says that it's fear,
Crawling up my legs again,
And god love me if I can't go on,
Consumed by all this wrong,
Lost in this fugitive song.
I swear I never knew that,
I'd never get away,
And I swear I'll never fly again,
If you'll just break me kindly,
Foul demon behind me,
I swear I'll never fly again.
Sore feet and sore company,
Company biting at my knees,
Buckling under history,
And I feel it digging in my side,
My side, my soul and my pride,
At having outrun memories,
And god damn this rotten heart in tow,
Why can't it just leave me alone?
I've lived so far beyond it now,
And god love me if it catches me,
Tears me piece from fucking piece,
Taking me down at top speed.
I swear I never knew that,
I'd never get away,
And I swear I'll never fly again,
If you'll just break me kindly,
Foul demon behind me,
I swear I'll never fly again.
But this nightmare ain't over yet,
Echoes filling me with dread,
Grips me in frozen sweat,
And it paints dead pictures in my head,
Turns my feet to solid lead,
And I hit the ground singing my last breath,
And god damn this thing now over me,
Forgotten pain, gnashing teeth,
Hunger ablaze for this convict heart,
And god love me though I know this beast,
Inside out, intimately,
Right down to its ice cold deep.
I swear I never knew that,
I'd never get away,
And I swear I'll never fly again,
If you'll just break me kindly,
Foul demon behind me,
I swear I'll never fly again.
