We Will Run

I watch the water rising
The waves that washed away my crown
I lit or managed the fire
And felt it burn the whole way down
The lights were out on housestep, and empty streets portrayed the sound
Of leaves and stones held singing, the head we held still holds us down
But all the smoke still breathing
From ashes from beneath our feet
Our hopes still long forgotten, and grass still grows where once lay streets
The house that keeps our secrets, the fall before our humble steps
These walls like arms embrace us, the door we smash to get back in
We will run back home
Cause we’re still running back home
The noctuous heart beats loudest, the old and steady and content
Our painful clocks unwinding, we came we saw we left.
We will run back home
Cause we’re still running back home
And we will run back home
Cause we’re still running back home
