Runway 03:13
when i hit the ground in all my glory i will know where i have come from in the shadow of the doubt that meets the morning i have come, i have faced it in the time it took to really understand him i bore witness to who he grew to be i will never know why a good man will go or a bird will fall from the sky that she was made for a heart will beat out of fear of its defeat and the love you left behind will no longer stand to be when i hit the runway in my armour i will know what i am made of in the arms of my daughter comes an answer i have seen what she will know i will never know why a good man will die or a bird will fall from the sky that she was made for a heart will beat out of fear of its defeat and the love you left behind will no longer stand to be when i hit the ground in all my glory i will know where i have come from in the shadow of the doubt that meets the morning i have come i have known

every man will fall fall to his knees for he has seen love burn a fiery black disease every woman will pray heaven help me please holy, holy woman help me feel release i don't keep track of the time - anymore i wont keep walking that line - to your door all my children will know know from where they came that good and evil collide their father knows them by name i don't keep track of the time - anymore i wont keep walking that line - to your door my love he treads the water the mountains, and the snow in his arms i am to heaven we will go i don't keep track of the time - anymore i wont keep walking that line - to your door

i keep the art separate from the love i always keep the truth separate from my heart if knew how to ride it, i would surely understand that love will grow thicker in search of foreign land who knew - that i was - reaching through name all of the planets and their distance from the sun tell her she was worth it and the only one if i am bound for something - honey wont you know that i will always take the shortest fucking road who knew - that i was - reaching through who knew that time would heal our wounds i've been walking forward only to forget where that i have been and who that i have met if i am bound for something - honey understand that love will grow thicker in search of foreign land who knew - that i was - reaching through who knew that time would heal our wounds
