There's wind blowing in my ears
You stay your steely gaze on me
I see the truth in your eyes
Oh, and I'm bleeding

You speak, and all I am is listening
A candied resonance endowed
Your words, they're living in the light,
But they're not casting a shadow

It's not pity, pain, not jealousy
There's not a wrinkle on your face
But I'm not close enough to see
Why you sit in empty space

Run down, run down
I'm run down, run down
I'm trapt just above the surface
Looking miles underground

Asunder, tiredly I sit and think
Why all we do is run and drink
Away
Plans and dreams and hopes aloft
While conscience suffers
As bombs go off

Run down, run down
I'm run down, run down
I'm trapt just above the surface
Looking miles underground
