Running In Place

Walk into a cathedral made of lead

They were on their knees, they were in their beds

Staying up all night praying on the letter they sent

Gave a confession, just forgot what I said

In the dark alleys with the black cats and cliché

Fall the white ashes of the ones we tried to save

Saw the sky turn red from the storm we chased

As the colors run towards our last day

We are running in place

(We are, we are) bones that are breaking

(We are, we are) ground and it's shaking

(We are, we are) lives that we're taking

We are running in place

Wake me up tonight and raise me from the grave

Smoke the devil out chase the demons all away

And we watch the crowd as the sky turn grey

And we spun our weaves never moved away

We are running in place

(We are, we are) bones that are breaking

(We are, we are) ground and it's shaking

(We are, we are) lives that we're taking

We are running in place

(We are, we are) blades that are spinning

(We are, we are) cups that are brimming

(We are, we are) lives and we’re living

We’ll let the world turn on its head

We’ll let the pillars turn to sand

We’ll let the wolves out of their den

We are, we are, we are

We are bones that are breaking

We are lives that we’re taking

We are running in place

(We are, we are) bones that are breaking

(We are, we are) ground and it’s shaking

(We are, we are) lives that we’re taking

We are running in place

(We are, we are) blades that are spinning

(We are, we are) cups that are brimming

(We are, we are) lives and we’re living

We are running in place
