Run

Where to start? Where to begin?
Tangled structures forming
Have I come unstuck in time?
Manifest a soul's defence
Nowhere to hide just to fend
With the ghosts I drew to me
Forgotten voices through the screen
Trip the wire - alarm bells ring!
All that was, in disarray
Amass the energy to speak
Form the thoughts that I will think
What I want and what I feel

Passions rise!
And a voice cries out inside
When what I know and love is gone
Where should I go? Where should I run?
The flag I carried, I held high
Over earth and under sky
When what I know and love is gone
Where should I go?
Where should I run?

Why comply?
What does this mean? Was there a madness to-
The greater plan that had no part for me
Faces closer to the glass
Through the door
A life that passed, breaks into the darkened air
A rage of sounds that cut too deep
There again within my reach
Compelling every move I make
Free of doubt
Another step count to three
And you'll forget
That you were ever here

Passions rise!
And a voice cries out inside
When what I know and love is gone
Where should I go? Where should I run?
The flag I carried, I held high
Over earth and under sky
When what I know and love is gone
Where should I go?
Where should I run?

Again the voice, it cries aloud
Of sacrifice and love avowed
When the land I loved is gone
Where should I go?
Where should I run?
The flag I carried, I held high
Over earth and under sky
When what I know and love is gone
Where should I go?
Where should I run?
