lyrics

Rabbit, run
nothing once did is ever undone
whatever you slipped through
whatever you stole
whomever you tricked
and all the people you told
however you blistered
all the months that you healed
the thoughts you were thinking
locks you thought you unsealed

Rabbit, run

Rabbit, run
nothing once woven is ever un-spun
only careful messiahs
gather followers first
only devils in deserts
offer drink for this thirst
were you willing to throw down
good money for bad
in the final equation
buy back what you had

Rabbit, run

Rabbit, run
nothing that’s singing is ever unsung
it’s a hot-wired system
it’s a passworded curse
path of greatest resistance
and it only gets worse
did you show up and listen
did he make you feel good
well, nothing was offered
you have misunderstood

Rabbit, run
rabbit, run
rabbit, run
