Rundown

Cowardice
This chain of events
Gather and plot
The ensnaring of me.

Gone now
The sense of lust
Is there a cause for the reckless excess?
Take it in
The growth and trust
Retaliatory strike at the weakest spot.

Raked away the remains of my fall
Laid scattered across plains of regret
Humble in defence of the wicked
Rundown, naked and blind.

Merciless
The onslaught of demands
Get in line for the numbning
I won't make a stand.

Redeemer
Of the slavery
Reconcile with the carefree and content
Ensnarer
Caretaker
Lead not these, the frail into battle again.

Crossing out the ramblings of others
Tired of the same old refrain
Knowing this will all be corrected
Torn down, wasted and lost.

I can't take it anymore 'cause I am rundown
Can't take it anymore 'cause this is wrong
Tired and rundown
Tired and rundown.

I can't take it anymore 'cause I am rundown
Can't take it anymore 'cause this is wrong
Tired and rundown
Tired and run.

Down
Spat it out
The foolish lines you fed
It holds a place in the civilized mind
Forcefed
The turn of our venturesome quest
Being rundown as we seek.

Rundown.

The day this was lost
All that you see
All that I'll be
Rundown.

Rundown.
