lyrics

So here we go,
Back to the place we came from,
And we know good will come,
Run from the ghosts,
Run there with me and take on,
The unknown, guide me home.

If you want to be free from the poison,
If you want to be free from the lies,
If you want to be free from boredom,
Then maybe we could just run for our lives.

Take all that's yours,
Take what you need and then some,
Take your pride, take your time,
Smile between tears,
Laugh at the words you won't hear,
When you're done, when you're gone.

If you want to be free from the poison,
If you want to be free from the lies,
If you want to be free from boredom,
Then maybe we could just run for our lives.

You won't settle for the hand you got,
You're owed a life without all the tears,
So you set off on a different path,
To find a way to run down the years,
No fear,
You're better off here.

Safe from the storm,
Safe from the evil's that won't go,
And in time they will know,
How good it feels,
To break the chain and head home,
To be done, be at one.

If you want to be free from the poison,
If you want to be free from the lies,
If you want to be free from boredom,
Then maybe we could just run for our lives.

(If you want to be free from the poison,)
(If you want to be free from the lies,)
(If you want to be free from boredom,)
Then maybe we could just run for our lives.
