Run to a Citadel

from 'Wind in the Trees' by Whetherman

/

lyrics

It was not long before I knew
That consequences come for you
Whether condemned or comforted the case
The storybook flips the next page

I arose from the thickest pine
No use I perceived in coming clean
Man the trees had climbed up so high
The moon wasn't guiding my sight

I have conjured all the guilt and blame
I've removed their names
And I've emptied the rage
The imposter and the framed
Picking up pace... run to a citadel

The trailing dogs howled at the daylight awaking
A riverbed stood too wide to cross in quick time
My hesitation was not overlook
As a gentlemen's rifle closed my storybook
