Lyrics: I look at my hands and see who I am is starting to show
I’ve tried to wash ‘em but can’t ‘cause the mud in my hands is stuck to the bone
This is blood not a tan, I’m the lost and the damned, I got cuts on my soul
I’ve been given a chance to see where I am to see where to go
In my next episode
I won’t be a metronome, nah, I’m a buzzsaw, anhh-anhhh
And even heaven knows
You can’t tell the rolling boulder back it up some, nahh-ahhh
I think I found my church
And it’s not where my old home is
It’s somewhere out there holdin’
All that is green and old
They say “oh my word!”
They tell me that I’m broken
Like leavin’ is me copin’
Like breathing is to choke
And no
There’s nothing pulling me except a light, a ray of hope
A glow
If this place is like a lover, you should know
I’m fresh out of love (I’m fresh out of love)
I’ve been dying in place, and I’ve had enough
I’m fresh out of love (I’m fresh out of love)
If there’s a line to be made
You’re on the side of the dust
And I’m the man on the run
Oh, I’m the man on the run
Oh, I’m the man on the - uh
Oh, I’m the man on the - uh
I’m the man on the - uh
Yeah, I'm a shell full of thunder from a holy motor
Like my soul is a gun
So to this hell I’m sober and I’m welling over
With the glow of the sun
I see my worth
I dream with my eyes open
I’m free as seven oceans
The breeze has let me know
These things I heard
Stop eating while you’re chokin’
The freest bird is floatin’
My wings they lift the crow
And no
There’s nothing pulling me except the quiet weight of snow
A hope
Like somehow I forgot for you to know
I’m fresh out of love (I’m fresh out of love)
I’ve been dying in place, and I’ve had enough
I’m fresh out of love (I’m fresh out of love)
Survive and escape
You’re on the side of the dust
And I’m the man on the run
The man on the run:
I’m the man on the loose
The man from the fight
I’ve spit out the tooth
I’ve pulled out the knife
I’m the man from the moon
My tomb was the night
I fell from the noose
To turn on a light
No matter where I am, I see I am
I look at my hands and I see I am
Fresh out of love
With the life I was in
With all that I’ve done
I said I’m fresh out of love
I left who I been on one side of the dust
And I’m the man on the run
It’s like I left my skin on one side of the dust
And I’m the man on the run
I left who I been on one side of the dust
I am the man on the run
