lyrics

You can't run from the sun
It will catch you where you stand
And the shelter of the night
Makes so many demands
I never asked for salvation
And I certainly don't want it now
All night I've been staring at the rain
Watching the lightening roll through the clouds
Although we have taken different sides
Have we found where the truth lies?

I've seen all the evils through your eyes
And the wickedness that walks with me
And all we sacrifice to be free

'tween echoes of alleys and crickets in the country
This highway leads to a cracked dawn
From my city streets to your dirty southern nights
It all seems to work out wrong
I must be slipping up I can't find my tongue
All my thoughts racing right outa my head
Reciting words that bring no return
I always regret what I should've said
So here we walk along a razor's edge
Balancing our lies against regret

I've seen all the evils through your eyes
And the wickedness that walks with me
And all we sacrifice to be free

By the howl of trains and silence of the stars
I'm sure you've counted down the hours
Away from the rush of cars
And all those part time preachers
The lost loves and treacherous promises
The solitude sought in pairs
Away from tainted memories
Of everyone who pretended they care
Between the darkness and blinding light
Our paths seem to cross at twilight

I've seen all the evils through your eyes
And the wickedness that walks with me
And all we sacrifice to be free
