Rise Against - Audience of One

I can still remember
The words and what they meant

As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement

The days blurred into each other
Though eveything seemed clear

We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning suns

But even then we should have stay.

But we ran away.
Now all my friends are gone.

Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved

Runaway
But what are we running from?

A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

Identities assume us
As nine and five add up

Synchronizing watches
To the seconds that we lost

I looked up and saw you
I know that you saw me We froze but for a moment
In empathy

I brought down the sky for you but all you did was shrug
You gave my emptiness a name

Then you ran away
Now all my friends are gone.

Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved

Runaway
But what are we running from?

A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?

We're all okay, until the day we're not.
The surface shines, while the inside rots

We raced the sunset and we almost won

We slammed the brake, but the weels went on

We ran away
Now all my friends are gone.

Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved

Runaway
But what are we running from?

A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?
