And I see papers and papers
Stacked up in formation
That mean much before
They're lining the fire
As the bottomless heat goes
To harness your anger
Your blood and
Your deepest desire
(Verse 2)
That's been ever brought forward
By the minds of the writers
Looking face down on the gutter
Cause this world's full of thinkers
And suffragette speakers
Who deny that they ever wear a dress
Oh, this god forsaken town is in a mess
And all the truths been let out loose
Is desperate to amuse
As it grabs you by the throat
And strings out all the times you've used
But now you don't belong
You whisper when you speak
You turn yourself to nighttime
You're trying to find your feet
So let me run, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
Run
Lord, just let me run
So let me run, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, just let me run
(Verse 3)
But as the morning awakens
That light sends a shudder
The twist of hope that helped you down
Is left to rest and stir
You back down a hallway
To flourish the darkness
And fool yourself
You did it all for her
And him, and her
And all the truths been let out loose
Is desperate to amuse
As it grabs you by the throat
And strings out all the times you've used
But now you don't belong
You whisper when you speak
You turn yourself to nighttime
You're trying to find your feet
So let me run, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
Run
Lord, just let me run
So let me run, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, just let me run
Outro
But I've seen your face before
Rich boy playing poor
Ravaging the whores
Ignoring constant calls
Now you don't belong
You whisper when you speak
You turn yourself to nighttime
You're trying to find your feet
So let me run, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
Run
Lord, just let me run
So let me run, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, just let me run
