You can't run
bend the bruises
mend the stains,
go ahead and break the chains,
wait outside the wrong track door,
hear the voices, not good for
anymore.
break the bones,
like all souls show,
spread your clipped wings and flow,
your soul to keep,
the truth will seep
into bloodied wounds
ashes consumed,
we are all doomed.
*whack* *whack* *whack*
blood on the floor
can't cry no more
can't escape
life takes shape
wrong side of the tracks
can't come back
it's over now
cut me some slack.
