Mercury

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.

All that I've known to be of life

And I am gentle

You ran off with it all

And I am faithful

All that I'd felt within my arms

And I am weightless

You ran off with it all

And I am speechless

All that I've said to get it right

And I am confident

You ran off with it all

And I am steadfast

All that I've thought to be precise

And I am consequence

You ran off with it all

And I am sorry

And I am sorry

All that I've known to be at peace

And I am desperate

You ran off with it all

And I am restless

All that I've known to be of love

And I am gentle

You ran off with it all

And I am desperate

All that I've dreamed

Where do you run, where do you run to?

And I am evidenced

All that I've dreamed

Where do you run, where do you run to?

And I am faithless

All that I've dreamed

Where do you run, where do you run to?

And I am messed up

All that I dreamed

Where do you run, where do you run to?

Carrier, friend

Where do you run?
