[00:42]I ran from my house
[00:46]That cannot contain me
[00:50]From the man that I cannot keep
[00:56]From my mother who haunts me
[01:00]Even though she's gone
[01:03]From my daughter that never sleeps
[01:11]I ran from the noise and the silence
[01:17]From the traffic on the streets
[01:38]I ran to the treetops
[01:41]I ran to the sky
[01:45]out to the lake
[01:48]into the rain
[01:51]that matted my hair
[01:54]And soaked my shoes and skin
[01:58]Hid my tears, hid my fears
[02:18]I ran to the forest
[02:21]I ran to the trees
[02:24]I ran and ran
[02:28]I was looking for me
[02:39]I ran past the churches
[02:42]And the crooked old mailbox
[02:46]Past the apple orchards
[02:49]And the lady that never talks
[02:53]Up into the hills
[02:56]I ran to the cemetery
[03:00]And held my breath
[03:04]And thought about your death
[03:13]I ran to the lake
[03:17]Up into the hills
[03:20]I ran and I ran
[03:23]I'm looking there still
[03:28]And I saw the crumbling tombstones
[03:35]The forgotten names
[03:41]I tasted the rain
[03:44]I tasted my tears
[03:48]I cursed the angels
[03:51]I tasted my fears
[03:59]And the ground gave way beneath my feet
[04:04]And the earth took me in her arms
[04:11]Leaves covered my face
[04:14]Ants marched across my back
[04:19]The black sky opened up
[04:23]Blinding me
[04:31]I ran to the forest
[04:34]I ran to the trees
[04:38]I ran and I ran
[04:41]I was looking for me
[04:45]I ran to the lakes
[04:48]And up to the hill
[04:52]I ran and I ran
[04:56]I'm looking there still
[05:01]And I smelt her burning flesh
[05:05]Her rotting bones
[05:08]Her decay
[05:11]I ran and I ran
[05:16]I'm still running today
