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
