A Sadness Runs Through Him

[Verse 1] People are puppets held together with string There's a beautiful sadness that runs through him As he asks me to pray to the god he doesn't believe in [Verse 2] Time and again, boys race to be men Impatient they start, fearful they end But here was a man mourning tomorrow He drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption [Chorus] Don't look at me with those eyes I tried to anaesthetize Turn back the time that drew him But he couldn't be saved A sadness runs through him, through him [Verse 2] Time and again, boys race to be men Impatient they start, fearful at the end But here was a man mourning tomorrow Who drank, but finally drowned in his sorrow [Pre-Chorus] Oh, he could not break surface tension He looked in the wrong place for redemption [Chorus] Don't look at me with those eyes I tried to anaesthetize Turn back the time that drew him But he couldn't be saved A sadness runs through him, through him [Bridge] Don't look Don't look Don't, don't [Chorus] Don't look at me with those eyes I tried to unheave Turn back the time that drew him But he couldn't be saved No, he couldn't be saved A sadness runs through him (Through him) A sadness runs through him (Through him) A sadness runs through him (Through him) A sadness runs through him (Through him) A sadness runs, sadness runs through him
