i trekked across the desert

and swam through foreign seas

to get away from You

and be alone with me

but the further that i ran

the clearer i could see

that You were going nowhere

that You were still with me

every crevice that i found

wasn't dark enough to hide

the lies i put in front of me

the truth i put aside

and You came knocking on

the facades i put between

You promised me a love

i no longer could believe

so i bit the hand that fed me

and then recoiled from the blow

that i believed was coming

but instead You let me go
