[00:42.00]I ran from my house
[00:46.00]That cannot contain me
[00:50.00]From the man that I cannot keep
[00:56.00]From my mother who haunts me
[01:00.00]Even though she's gone
[01:03.00]From my daughter that never sleeps
[01:11.00]I ran from the noise and the silence
[01:17.00]From the traffic on the streets
[01:38.00]I ran to the treetops
[01:41.00]I ran to the sky
[01:45.00]out to the lake
[01:48.00]into the rain
[01:51.00]that matted my hair
[01:54.00]And soaked my shoes and skin
[01:58.00]Hid my tears, hid my fears
[02:18.00]I ran to the forest
[02:21.00]I ran to the trees
[02:24.00]I ran and ran
[02:28.00]I was looking for me
[02:39.00]I ran past the churches
[02:42.00]And the crooked old mailbox
[02:46.00]Past the apple orchards
[02:49.00]And the lady that never talks
[02:53.00]Up into the hills
[02:56.00]I ran to the cemetery
[03:00.00]And held my breath
[03:04.00]And thought about your death
[03:13.00]I ran to the lake
[03:17.00]Up into the hills
[03:20.00]I ran and I ran
[03:23.00]I'm looking there still
[03:28.00]And I saw the crumbling tombstones
[03:35.00]The forgotten names
[03:41.00]I tasted the rain
[03:44.00]I tasted my tears
[03:48.00]I cursed the angels
[03:51.00]I tasted my fears
[03:59.00]And the ground gave way beneath my feet
[04:04.00]And the earth took me in her arms
[04:11.00]Leaves covered my face
[04:14.00]Ants marched across my back
[04:19.00]The black sky opened up
[04:23.00]Blinding me
[04:31.00]I ran to the forest
[04:34.00]I ran to the trees
[04:38.00]I ran and I ran
[04:41.00]I was looking for me
[04:45.00]I ran to the lakes
[04:48.00]And up to the hill
[04:52.00]I ran and I ran
[04:56.00]I'm looking there still
[05:01.00]And I smelt her burning flesh
[05:05.00]Her rotting bones
[05:08.00]Her decay
[05:11.00]I ran and I ran
[05:16.00]I'm still running today
