Axemen Lyrics by Mariee Sioux

Pray Me a Shadow

0

[Verse 1]
We're always outrunning the flood
And it leaves us knee-deep
In the mud we once rubbed on our faces while waltzing around with dirt masks
Now the forest asks us if we've noticed that we've outworn our welcome
[Chorus]
So run, run, run from the Axemen
They've come, come, come for your new skin
Run, run, run from the Axemen
They've come, come, come for your new skin
[Verse 2]
We're always chewing it in the backs of our mouths
To keep our backs washеd and clean or we'd let out howls
Of lovе so bold and black and mean it would lock down your knees
And block the seeds of light they need
[Chorus]
So run, run, run from the Axemen
They've come, come, come for your new skin
Run, run, run from the Axemen
They've come, come, come for your new skin
[Verse 3]
And we're always outrunning that flood
Now I want to let out howls of love
So bold and rough and tough and black and mean
And it would lock down your knees and block the seeds of light they need
[Chorus]
So run, run, run from the Axemen
They've come, come, come for your new skin
Run, run, run from the Axemen
They've come, come, come for your new skin
