(run.)

It’s slowly sinking in and you’re just about to cry

Cuz there’s a hollow in this place and it’s circled you and I

As the walls become a cage and the pictures frame the lies

All the scars will learn to fade but the tears will never dry

They’ll never dry…

Take my hand and we’ll leave the worst behind

(Drop everything and run / Drop everything and run)

There’s no promised land when the bled are led by blind men

(Drop everything and run / Drop everything and run… away)

It’s burning in your skin and it’s choking out the light

Every assurance that they made was played out pantomime

As their tongues become the blades, so their words can cut the lines

They’ll keep filling in the graves to build over them with shrines

(To the cowards and liars!)

Take my hand and we’ll leave the worst behind

(Drop everything and run / Drop everything and run)

There’s no promised land when the bled are led by blind men

(Drop everything and run / Drop everything and run)

When the illusion falls away… it’s a bitter pill to swallow

Realize there’s a choice to make: you either lead or you follow

Take my hand and we’ll leave…
