lyrics

LYRICS:
It was chance that led me to the last reform
Your eyes highlighted all the vacancies I knew were

Run, run, running against me
Driving a daughter to reclaim a son
(x2)

She's placid in name but I've been known to stray like strangers
Sun climbing the depths has come to look for me

In cherish you'd enquire remorse
A man divided underneath conflicting thoughts that run, run, run riot in me

Run, run, run riot in me
Fighting for answers you'd abate your lungs
(x2)

She's placid in name but I've been known to stray like strangers
Sun climbing the depths has come to look for me
(x2)

When the sun's crowning claim yourself, claim yourself
(x2)

She's placid in name but I've been known to stray like strangers
Sun climbing the depths has come to look for me
(x2)
