Audience Of One歌词

I can still remember the words
and what they meant

As we etched them
with our fingers in years of wet cement

Days blur into each other

though everything seemed clear

We cruised along at half speed
but then we shifted gears
We ran like vampires
from a thousand burning suns

But even then we should have stayed
But we ran away now all my friends are gone

Maybe we've outgrown
all the things that we once loved
Run away, what are we running from ?

A show of hands from those
in this audience of one

Where have they gone?

Identities assume us as nine and five add up

Synchronizing watches
to the seconds that we lost

And I looked up and saw you,

I know that you saw me

We froze but for a moment in empathy
I brought down the sky for you
but all you did was shrug

You gave my emptiness a name
And you ran away now all my friends are gone

Maybe we've outgrown
all the things that we once loved
Runaway what are we running from?

A show of hands from those
in this audience of one

Where have they gone?

We're all okay until the day we're not

The surface shines while the inside rots

We raced the sunset and we almost won

We slammed the brakes but the wheels went on

We ran away now all my friends are gone

Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved
Runaway what are we running from?

A show of hands from those in this audience of one

Where have they gone?
