Never Tried To Run

A body is moving underneath, seductively

Showing off her nakedness and most intimate parts

He fooled himself to think he spoke the truth

She caught him in his lie

She said, "My roots are missing"

My sister said hers are too

I can feel it and I know it

So much of my voice was voice here

In sinking and in fighting

Will this earth forget my weight?

Will the air be emptied from my breath?

If I leave, will they remember?

I ask you what you're thinking

You answer what you think I wanna hear

It rips the sound from underneath me

The night comes in through mouth and ears

I know it's not connected, but still

I cannot believe it

I never tried to run

I never tried to run

I never tried to run

I never tried to run

So much of my voice was voice here

In sinking and in fighting

Will this earth forget my weight?

Will the air be emptied from my breath?

If I leave, will they remember?

I ask you what you're thinking

You answer what you think I wanna hear

It rips the sound from underneath me

The night comes in through mouth and ears

I know it's not connected, but still

I cannot believe it, I cannot believe it, I cannot believe it

I never tried to run

I never tried to run

I never tried to run

I never tried to run

I never tried to run

I never tried to run

I never tried to run
