We Will Run - Jens Kuross

I watch the water rising

The waves that washed away my crown

I lit or managed the fire

And felt it burn the whole way down

The lights were out on housestep, and empty streets portrayed the sound

Of leaves and stones held singing, the head we held still holds us down

But all the smoke still breathing

From ashes from beneath our feet

Our hopes still long forgotten, and grass still grows where once lay streets

The house that keeps our secrets, the fall before our humble steps

These walls like arms embrace us, the door we smash to get back in

We will run back home

Cause we’re still running back home

The noctuous heart beats loudest, the old and steady and content

Our painful clocks unwinding, we came we saw we left.

We will run back home

Cause we’re still running back home

And we will run back home

Cause we’re still running back home
