Run Away

from Nightingale by Joe Bailey

lyrics

Break the walls, break the feeble little stumbling blocks.
Make it rain when your cohorts have ignored the crops.
No more snags, no white flags, no more giving in.
Clear the dirt from the pool that you are swimming in.

For the rewards that you reap will be forwarded in gold.
And the gold will be your shield.

But in your heart all you want to do is run away, run away.
But the grey fights the blood in your veins and it tells you to stay.
You see no holes in the barricade so just run away, run away.
But if you brawl with the disarray you can end this decay.

You've got to give to receive, there's no charity.
Keep tight hold of the unfamiliarity.
It's a shitstorm of corruption and depravity,
Wind it in and survive in this insanity.

For the rewards that you reap will be forwarded in gold.
And the gold will be your shield.

But in your heart all you want to do is run away, run away.
But the grey fights the blood in your veins and it tells you to stay.
You see no holes in the barricade so just run away, run away.
But if you brawl with the disarray you can end this decay.

And when your heart is pumping concrete,
and when your lungs are breathing dust.
When your skin is a crib for bruising,
And your bones are veiled with rust.
Your heart is still beating,
and your lungs still find the air.
Your skin is right for healing,
There's no need for this despair.
