I ran to the treetops  
I ran to the sky  
Out of the lake  
Into the rain  
That matted my hair  
And soaked my shoes and skin  
Hid my tears, hid my fears  

I ran to the forest  
I ran to the trees  
I ran and ran  
I was looking for me  

I ran past the churches  
And the crooked old mailbox  
Past the apple orchards  
And the lady that never talks  

Up into the hills  
I ran to the cementery  
And held my breath  
And thought about your death  

I ran to the lake  
Up into the hills  
I ran and I ran  
I'm lookind there still  
And I saw the crumbling tombstones  
all the forgotten names  

I tasted the rain  
I tasted my tears  
I cursed the angels  
I tasted my fears  

And the ground gave way beneath my feet  
And the earth took me in her arms  
Leaves covered my face  
Ants marched across my back  
The black sky opened up  
Blinding me  

I ran to the forest  
I ran to the trees  
I ran and I ran  
I was looking for me  

I ran to the lakes  
And up to the hill  
I ran and I ran  
I'm looking there still  

And I smelt her burning flesh  
Her rotting bones  
Her decay  

I ran and I ran  
I'm still running away
