Runner 02:52
he always runs around like he's got something to say the irony is that he always stays in place if your well of patience has run dry he's always got another thing to say when he's inside patience was a virtue for saints and i took all of that in spades look now the runner has new legs he's always running around the parts that he knows sowing seeds of doubtful hope wherever he goes but that's never too far from the height and the light turns off for the very last time patience was a virtue for saints and i took all of that in spades look now the runner has new legs don't look down the ground's gone away

Believer 02:36
i can't believe i said that once in awhile though you may agree then turn the pages to saturn i can't believe i went there half of my life believing now there's a void that i can't fill i wish my fear would be raptured in the shadow realm on that first page what's behind it? now i'm in first gear ahhhh was it my golden age? i can't believe its presence the only thing with more strength is the will to add another zero i can't believe i wrote this one of a million fools to do so she says i'm not the only one here maybe it's time to let go of it in the shadow realm on that first page what's behind it now i'm in first gear ahhhh was it my golden age? the genesis of my exodus being kicked out and realizing there's other ways to think

chin up you made it through another day i've got endless envy for you long before they walked back from the furthest point one day they won't return you know long division scrawled out out on anything as if you could stop time from passing by if you've made up your mind how's that working out? build up your walls there's nothing keeping them at bay long before they walked back from the furthest point one day they won't return you know long division scrawled out out on anything as if you could stop time from passing by long division scrawled out out on anything as if you could stop time from passing by

everyone around the world may know this to be true but i'm clouded by another view fall asleep where you know when you're looking through some other lens they won't know they won't know they won't close your eyes the past's behind fall asleep where you can hide hold it off for the night please arrive here for me a desert walk a desert rose you're doing fine i suppose so you think you'll pull it off everyone around here knows that sometimes it's not true the light bends to fit you in and everyone who's got their own may conjure up some new screen so their eyes can rest for awhile fall asleep where you know when you're looking through some other lens they won't know they won't know they won't close your eyes the past's behind fall asleep where you can hide hold it off for the night please a desert walk a desert rose fall asleep where you don't know can you look through some other lens

at first it was a red star hovering outside that would now it's something more certain rising tide punisher kill the air start over the chill of voidwalk a drown of shiver shadow corrects the bone new landscapes open patience, now it will still happen patience, now it will still happen
