I Ran to Hide

My love

My heart

To rise above

The billowing smoke of the factories’ grace

The sunlight all twisted through the clouds that we make

And I’m choking

Just wanna see all the places I like

The mountains and prairies, when I close my eyes

I can see them

Maybe we are now

Just what we aimed for

I hold all the cards now

Never held them before

You are my heartache

You are my trust

We made the earth shake

Laid in the dust

Now I’m an old face

Pictures don’t lie

You were the first place

I ran to hide

This new souvenir is the voice of my dad

Saying there’s no chance that we ever had

The faith out in Jersey just an old broken church

From out of the shadows we’re born from the dirt

And we rise

We rise

You are my heartache

You are my trust

We made the earth shake

Laid in the dust

Now I’m an old face

Pictures don’t lie

You were the first place

I ran to hide
