Running From The Source
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down within incredible swiftness." - Faith Baldwin (1983-1978)
One click and time stood still
One bright flash accompanied the will
The will to freeze the moment in time
The thread through all our lives
Evidence for years to come
It's me you see forever young
I was looking for virtues that I never had
(Sometimes moments in life are ever so sad)
Therefore my smile has vanished
It was ripped off my head
(It all seems to happen as fast as it can)
I was running in circles again and again
(Nothing seems to work it's all in my head)
Till I recalled that I needed to be the man that I am
(A man, a man I am)
One click and time stood still
One brief look satisfied the thrill
The thrill to be a distinguished man
To live beyond my death
Let's take a peek under the black
And live beyond my death
I was looking for virtues that I never had
(Sometimes moments in life are ever so sad)
Therefore my smile has vanished
It was ripped off my head
(It all seems to happen as fast as it can)
I was running in circles again and again
(Nothing seems to work it's all in my head)
Till I recalled that I needed to be the man that I am
(A man, a man I am)
Here we have another one
Another sepia smiling one
Look here, it's a different one
Grey and sad, what I become
Take this frame it's hurting me
Hurting and obsessing me
I turn my eyes but still I see
Fragments of what used to be
If one and two and three are no lies
Then line me up in the afterlife
two times with movement in between
Two shots and each for us to see
To see the distance from the past
Growing further every day
Leaving me with mimicry
In scenes of yesterday
I'll take the blame, leave the game
I'll turn my back and run, run, run away
I was looking for virtues that I never had
Therefore my smile had vanished
It was ripped off my head
I was running in circles again and again
Till I recalled that I needed to be the man that I am
