Lyrics
I was trying to run and hide
Thought my soul could run on pride
I thought that I could make it through the night
With a broken light
They rob us with distraction and they spoil our art
False prophets preach their poison and pollute our hearts
I can wait upon your judgment and ignore your grace
But deep inside, I long to see your face
I was trying to run and hide
Thought my soul could run on pride
I thought that I could make it through the night
With a broken light
The moment that you're born, you're on the gambling floor
The only way to beat the house is to head for the door
I don't give a damn what all your cards portend
I'm gonna live just like a bluebird on the wind
I've been racing in the streets
I've been fighting with my sheets
I thought that I could make it through the night
With a broken light
I had no wings to fly with, and I had no light to see
There was beauty all around me, but all I saw was me
I can hear the morning bell
I'll flip the bird to last year's hell
I think I'm finally doing something right
I was trying to run and hide
Thought my soul could run on pride
I thought that I could make it through the night
With a broken light
