Penance Fire Blues

I see papers and papers

Stacked up in formation

Which mean much before

They're lined in the fire

As a bottomless heat goes

To harness your anger

Your blood and

Your deepest desire

Because there's no truth stolen

That's been ever brought forward

From the minds of the rioters

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's in a mess

And all the truths we 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

Whisper when you speak

You turn yourself to nighttime

Trying to find your feet

Oh let me run lord (lord lord lord)

Run lord, let me run

So let me run lord (lord lord lord)

Run lord, let me run

But as the morning awakens

That light sends a shudder

Twist of hope that held you down

Is left to rest and stir

You back down a hallway

To flourish the darkness

And you fool yourself

You did it all for her

And him, and her

And all the truths we 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

Whisper when you speak

You turn yourself to nighttime

Trying to find your feet

Trying to find your feet now

Run lord (lord lord lord)

Run lord, let me run

Oh let me run lord (lord lord lord)

Run lord, let me run

Seen your face before

Rich boy playing poor

Ravaging the whores

Ignoring constant calls

Now you don't belong

Whisper when you speak

You turn yourself to nighttime

Trying to find your feet

Run lord (lord lord lord)

Run lord, let me run

Let me run lord (lord lord lord)

Run lord, let me run

Run lord (lord lord lord)

Run lord, let me run
