Conspiracy of Violet - The Devil's Deal Lyrics

It was morning: cloudy morning
Many years past, and time was a loop
Make your choices, and keep your voice down
And work your square of this dirt and this mud
Raise your eyes up: you see a sparrow
Floating weightless, a wing on the wind
Blink to bounce back; the day has ended
In your ears hear the rush of your blood

Run, run, run

Racing river: watch a leaf weave
A lonely wanderer, riding the rain
Is it pow'rless and is it wanting
Or can it change how it cruises the streams?
From above here, you stop your walking and
See it simply could drift to the shore
But in roiling, it's drifting helpless
It cannot see the world for the seas

Run, run, run, run away
Run, run, run, run away

Nightly ritual: brushing, scrubbing
Wash away all the dust of the day
In the morning, begins another
An ostinato, an eternal motif
You made your choices, and you kept your voice down
You put away all your childish things
See the window, and set reminder to
Call a man out to trim down that tree

Run, run, run, run away
