The president

I´ve run to ground
I´ve run from everyone that I have ever known
I´m aching cold
I´m aching from the bones the very blood of me
And it´s broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can´t fix it
And you wish you´d listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you´d ignored
Are you finally gonna ask us for help?
I´ve crashed to earth
But I´d fallen for so long that it was just relief
I saw your face
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
And it´s broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can´t fix it
And you wish you´d listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you´d ignored
When you finally gonna ask us for help?
I can see you at the front gate
As you wait on my return
The years have blurred to eons
But the tears have never dried
But I´m not coming to you like this
So battered down and sad
I will take the road forgotten again
I´ve run from everyone that I have ever known
I´m aching cold
I´m aching from the bones the very blood of me
And it´s broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can´t fix it
And you wish you´d listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you´d ignored
Are you finally gonna ask us for help?
I´ve crashed to earth
But I´d fallen for so long that it was just relief
I saw your face
In everyone that looked me in my drunken eyes
And it´s broke before you know it
Before you knew what it was for
All you know is you can´t fix it
And you wish you´d listened more
To your instincts to your family
To the wisdom you´d ignored
When you finally gonna ask us for help?
I can see you at the front gate
As you wait on my return
The years have blurred to eons
But the tears have never dried
But I´m not coming to you like this
So battered down and sad
I will take the road forgotten again
