And He Runs

Off you go inside your mind again
Your legs must shake from the memories
You chase round your head
I beg you no
But there you go
To find the version of yourself that's dead
I don't know why I let myself bare the cuts everytime
You shatter our life to chase what you can't leave behind
Your bodies here
But it's clear that you're searching for what you cannot find
And you shut me out once more
I don't know what you're looking for
And you turn your back on me
I'm getting used to all the secrecy
Each time I watch you go
The distance 'tween us grows and grows
You may run in this place
But you can't keep up this chase
And he runs
You must be tired
Running wild
Trying to chase your past
And he runs
You run the time out
When you find out that your legs can't last
And he runs
You can't escape it, you can't change it
This race can't be won
Oh he runs
But still you always run
And just like that you go
To hide your heart deep down below
And you just choose to ignore
The brewing of our coming war
And you seem to find such ease
To leave while I fight desperately
While you're off in the stars
I'm nursing battle scars
And he runs
Now aren't you tired
Running wild
Trying to chase your past
And he runs
You'll run your mind out
When you find out
That your lungs can't last
And he runs
You cannot change it
Or escape it
This race can't be won
Oh he runs
And still you always
(Now I'm so tired, running wild, trying to chase your past)
And you have no idea what you put all of us through!
(My lungs, my legs, my mind, my heart won't last)
It doesn't take long
To trace it all back to you
(Run, run, run)
So you can run and run
Go run and run until you drop!
(Until you drop)
But for me?
I'll finally
(But for me? I'll finally)
Stop.
But he runs
You must be tired
Running wild
Trying to chase your past
And he runs, and he runs, and he runs
You'll run your mind out
When you find out
That your legs can't last
And he runs, and he runs, and he runs
You cannot change this
You must face this
Your race can't be won
And he runs, and he runs, and he runs
Still you always run
But still you always run
And he runs, and he runs, and he runs
You run in circles
Jumping hurdles
Trying to turn back time
And in your chase you will erase your place within my life
And he runs, and he runs, and he runs
So go and run now
Chase the sun down
My time's just begun
And he runs, and he runs, and he runs
While you much rather just run
(While you much rather just run)
So go and turn your back on the sun
Cause still you always
Run.
