I looked away
And the tides swept past me
Whenever you run
Whenever you hide
Whenever you suffer
Whenever you bleed
Whenever you choke
Whenever you pray
Whenever you rise
Whenever you fall
Whenever you stall
Whenever you praise
Whenever you love
Whenever you purge
Whenever you lie
Whenever you falter
Whenever you build
Whenever you torch
Wherever you've run
And whatever you've built
Stop
Open your eyes
And realize
That life had run past you
