Run Run Run Through The Rain

Verse 1

Block on my back like a scar from the concrete

Rent due Monday and the fridge lookin' empty

Mama says pray but the preacher sound sleepy

I lace up my boots when the nights get greasy

Corner store flicker and the bottle tops spin

Old heads talking while the new ones give in

I move through the avenues quiet like smoke

Scars on my knuckles from the doors that I broke

Pre-Chorus

And I run and I run and I run through the rain

Every step kicks the dust out the pain

Yeah I run through the rain

Chorus

Call me the ghost of the east block saga

Shadow on the pavement where the vultures wander

I don't need a crown to know I'm the author

Writing with the blood and the grime and the hunger

Post-Chorus

Run run run through the rain

Run run run through the rain

Verse 2

Mama used to tell me keep your head in the clouds

Now I count the ceilings when the sirens get loud

Uncle said the game give and the game take

Now I keep a notebook when the morning breaks

Storefront shutters and the tags on the wall

Names I don't know but I've seen 'em all fall

I write what I live and I live what I write

Sketching out my future in the middle of the night

Pre-Chorus

And I run and I run and I run through the rain

Every step kicks the dust out the pain

Yeah I run through the rain

Chorus

Call me the ghost of the east block saga

Shadow on the pavement where the vultures wander

I don't need a crown to know I'm the author

Writing with the blood and the grime and the hunger

Post-Chorus

Run run run through the rain

Run run run through the rain

Bridge

Grit in the gears and the gearbox screaming

Half of the crew gone and the other half dreaming

I hold the torch low where the fuse is burning

Every lesson learned is a page I'm turning

Turn turn turn

Every page a turn

Turn turn turn

Chorus

Call me the ghost of the east block saga

Shadow on the pavement where the vultures wander

I don't need a crown to know I'm the author

Writing with the blood and the grime and the hunger

Post-Chorus

Run run run through the rain

Run run run through the rain

Outro

Blood and the grime

Hunger

Blood and the grime

Hunger

East block saga

I'm the author
