Lyrics Shifting Responsibility - Run, Forever

Shifting Responsibility

On the cover of a magazine
There are 15 ways to blame
Or shift responsibility
It’s easier to believe
We’re not inheriting our parents' mistakes
Today I felt like dying
Or calling an old friend
In search of consolation
You just offer prayer
You can pin every feeling to a scripture
Every word to a line of a hymn
It’s our duty to control and to be controlled
You were made to believe it’s your place to lay beneath him
Close your eyes and fall asleep so easily at night
While I lay awake with flippant thoughts of different ways to die
I can try to avoid ever speaking
Stay in bed for my everlasting life
Just believe in my soul
That it could save me
And just float like an angel from the window
Or to the ground below
