lyrics

With a blink and a gust of tenacious wind,
All the idols I collected disappeared.
and all the bricks that I laid into prostration,
performed an act of levitation,
and as I feared,
were swept away by a brutal breeze but I'm still here,
I guess it's gonna be a good year,

If I could run
If I could run
If I could run,
I wouldn't

The battleships and the lifeboats were ill proportioned,
so I took to the ocean,
where I was thrown about and battered by the waves,
I sunk low, thought that I could never be saved,
and as I feared,
as i feared I am here still,
guess it takes more than just a strong will

If I could run
If I could run
If I could run,
I wouldn't

Who's above me and whose below me and whose beside,
who will help me and who'll deny me, who will will me to survive,
or let me know when to sink

With a blink and a gust of tenacious wind,
all the idols I collected disappeared.
