I've run to ground
I've run from everyone that I have ever known
I'm aching cold
I'm aching from the bones the very blood of me
And it's broke before you know it, before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can't fix it, and you wish you'd listened more
To your instincts, to your family, to the wisdom you'd ignored
Are you finally gonna ask us for help?
I've crashed to earth
But I'd fallen for so long that it was just relief
I saw your face
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
And it's broke before you know it, before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can't fix it, and you wish you'd listened more
To your instincts, to your family, to the wisdom you'd ignored
When you finally gonna ask us for help?
I can see you at the front gate, as you wait on my return
The years have blurred to eons, but the tears have never dried
But I'm not coming to you like this, so battered down and sad
I will take the road forgotten again.
