[Verse 1] In a thousand ways I'd feel the weight of I'd feel the weight of Carolina's pain What's left to take from? What's left to take from? [Chorus] Closer now they come Farther now I'd run Eyes the other way Violence without cause Hours till the dawn Eyes the other way [Verse 2] In a thousand ways The sound of pockets jangling The sound of broken gla** In a single frame Closed-circuit television Everyone's tuning in
[Chorus] Closer now they come Farther now I'd run Eyes the other way Violence without cause Hours till the dawn Eyes the other way [Verse 3] In a thousand ways I see the changes I'd feel awakened Ah, will it stay the same? Where is the morning? Where is the morning? [Chorus] Closer now they come Farther now I'd run Eyes the other way Violence without cause Hours till the dawn Eyes the other way
