Everyone Knows

(album: Running - 2021)

When I can walk I walk so slowly
You think we should talk but I don't have anything to say
You just learn to write things you can't say
We don't see the same anymore
Had enough of dragging your feet
We're calling your bluff and burning the street
Learning to walk with hurt and burned feet
Plan for a tough year, living dirt cheap

Back up into your corner
Lay your defenses down to die
Do you want to go a martyr
Nobody knows when it's their time
And I dream about the future
Whenever I can't avert my eyes from the news
Cut me loose

Nobody watches, take our losses out on you
Go run and hide behind your lame excuse
You can't just face and everyone knows what really happened and you can't erase it
Give me a reason even if it isn't true
Go run and try to hide it under your misinformation
Everyone knows what really happened and you can't erase it

Fine, but I find there's not enough time
Start running blind and feel the sunshine
Calm and composed we wait for your side
To fall into rows and blow the hillside
Oh, who already knows
Who's taking a side
Who's coming too close
Who swallows their pride
Take all the names
We see all the signs
Remember your face
So that you can't escape it

Back up into your corner
Lay your defenses down to die
Do you want to go a martyr
Nobody knows when it's their time
And I dream about the future
Whenever I can't avert my eyes from the news
Cut me loose

Nobody watches, take our losses out on you
Go run and hide behind your lame excuse
You can't just face and everyone knows what really happened and you can't erase it
Give me a reason even if it isn't true
Go run and try to hide it under your misinformation
Everyone knows what really happened and you can't erase it

Back up into your corner
Lay your defenses down to die
Do you want to go a martyr
Nobody knows when it's their time
And I dream about the future
Whenever I can't avert my eyes from the news
Cut me loose
