We Will Run

I watch the water rising The waves that washed away my crown I lit or managed the fire And felt it burn the whole way down The lights were out on housestep, and empty streets portrayed the sound Of leaves and stones held singing, the head we held still holds us down But all the smoke still breathing From ashes from beneath our feet Our hopes still long forgotten, and grass still grows where once lay streets The house that keeps our secrets, the fall before our humble steps These walls like arms embrace us, the door we smash to get back in We will run back home Cause we're still running back home The noctuous heart beats loudest, the old and steady and content Our painful clocks unwinding, we came we saw we left. We will run back home Cause we're still running back home And we will run back home Cause we're still running back home
