You Can Still Run
no roof overhead
but you can sleep under stars
your photos and clothes
are locked in your car
at the bottom of the lake
that aching in the heart of town
you watched everything you had go down
it sank so fast, it made no sound.
theres still blood in your veins
and a history in scars
it's thirty miles to the stateline
but you can still run that far.
dreamt of ropes at your throat
where your voice had been caught
woke to a damp grey dawn.
and sang to settle your thoughts.
the only things you still got
in this colorless place,
this tightening knot.
felt a chill run through,
like it it had never seen seen the sun.
but you still got your will
and you can still run.
you can still run.
you can still run.
you can still run.
