lyrics

Set my soul on fire
Wash my sin and let me drown
Take my love and burn
Take my love and burn it down

Sleep will barely come
Darkness turns to blusih-grey
In the half light I can see
All the goodness slowly fall away

I don't know who I am
Feeling like I'm bound against my will
I find it hard to stand
Running to stand still

Cast a stone into the deep
See it's ripples wide and far
Run away tonight
Run away before you see the scars

Running.....

I don't know who I am
Feeling like I'm bound against my will
I find it hard to stand
Running to stand still
