Mark Fassett - The Churn Lyrics

After miles of goodbyes and the impenetrable lies
Toward a future uncertain but bright
Your darkness took many shapes in the oh forsaken place
The grey skies, and vast urban blight

I was broken by design, unspoken by design

Was running from myself, taking steps toward myself
You were somehow just caught in between
I was certain and vacant, a future so latent
Unwise sage at the age of 18

I was broken by design, unspoken by design

I'll never leave again the way I left you then
I'll never be again the one I was then
I was ready for the turn
You were just caught up in the churn

It was a case of friendly fire, situation so dire
Fight or flight, all I knew is I should run
Couldn't see your point of view, or feel your pain too
All I could do is simply run (Run run run run)

Can you forgive me, can I forgive myself
Can you forgive me, can I forgive myself

I'll never leave again the way I left you then
I'll never be again the one I was then
I was ready for the turn
You were just caught up in the churn
