I didn't walk away

I ran as fast as I could go

From the shelter and the warmth

Toward a truth that I might know

So afraid of what I'd find

So afraid of who I'd be

Breathing air that passed through time

'Til the years caught up with me

And now you know the truth

We all know the truth

And the consequence

Is absolute

I stumble on beyond all reason

There may never be a light

To survive I first must shatter

But I can't be sure I'm right

Still afraid of what I'll find

Still afraid of who I'll be

Though the sun has left me blind

The shadows haven't found me

And now you know the truth

We all know the truth

And the consequence

Is absolute

Well, what is the truth?

Do you know the truth?

Because the consequence

Is absolute

I didn't walk away

I ran as fast as I could go

From the shelter and the warmth

Toward a truth that I might know

So afraid of what I'd find

So afraid of who I'd be

Breathing air that passed through time

'Til the years caught up with me
