I didn't walk away
I ran as fast as I could go
From the shelter and the warmth
Toward a truth that I might know
So afraid of what I'd find
So afraid of who I'd be
Breathing air that pa**ed through time
'Til the years caught up with me
And now you know the truth
We all know the truth
And the consequence
Is absolute
I stumble on beyond all reason
There may never be a light
To survive I first must shatter
But I can't be sure I'm right
Still afraid of what I'll find
Still afraid of who I'll be
Though the sun has left me blind
The shadows haven't found me
And now you know the truth
We all know the truth
And the consequence
Is absolute
Well, what is the truth?
Do you know the truth?
Because the consequence
Is absolute
I didn't walk away
I ran as fast as I could go
From the shelter and the warmth
Toward a truth that I might know
So afraid of what I'd find
So afraid of who I'd be
Breathing air that pa**ed through time
'Til the years caught up with me
