On The Run 04:10
i was born under a watchful eye watching people work to die found a girl she didn't speak with a hollow laugh she beckoned me i took a step and she took ten asked to meet her she asked when cause you know she's always on the run i'm all alone playing hide and seek under a rock come look for me cause we're always on the run climbing those crooked peaks we've got black feet and we can't breathe but we won't stop until we get burnt up by the sun she hung me up in a noose upside down she cut me loose she turned me on to her open road but there's no need to follow you roadside boy up your thumb stuck think she'll stop and pick you up but you know she's always on the run i'm all alone playing hide and seek under a rock come look for me cause we're always on the run climbing those crooked peaks we've got black feet and we can't breathe but we won't stop until we get burnt up by the sun

Butterflies 04:19
the butterflies are the children there is no time to spare surrounded by crumbling walls the pain is too much to bear won't you take it all away take it all away take it all the pain take it all away take it all today i am gone, away I'm losing fingers and toes abandoned by my body well nobody knows just why I'm fallin' apart won't you take it all away those butterflies their wings with holes like crying eyes can't grow old but baby they aren't terrified spread your wings and won't you say goodbye once it's gone we'll take to the sky

Red Army 04:13
you look so defeated with your eyes to the ground just look around just look around look at the blind man stumble and yell the dark makes no sound the dark can't be found dont look there those heads on the ground she wasn't found he was never ever found that's why we're so happy when you're not around so don't come around dont come around and i don't have time to sit and devise a plan to overthrow you no they don't own you but i've got the words to say it's absurd of what they want to do they don't control you i'm not there yet and never will are things better now tell me are you happy are you happy now

just want to wake up and not feel the way you do full cup and a though puts a step into my shoe no tears will be crusting in the corners of these eyes unless the wind wills its soul upon this face and flies over and over i feel i shouldn't try closer and closer to a condescending lie i'd like to pull over and swallow up my pride it's time to move forward and embrace the shit i hide like the way we do but when we're in shock we may start to feel afraid i look at my shirt it's on the ground all torn and frayed sophisticated girl has seen some better days she lies and wanders in the hollow bed she's made over and over i feel i shouldn't try closer and closer to a condescending lie i'd like to pull over and swallow up my pride it's time to move forward and embrace the shit i hide like the way we do this isn't so long more like the way we do footsteps outside continue to intrude blankets of time will fold up and undo this is our time so try to just be you
