Axemen lyrics

We're always outrunning the flood 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 welcomes 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 We're always chewing it in the backs of our mouths To keep our backs washed and clean, or we'd let out howls Of love so bold and black and mean It would lock down your knees and block the seeds Of light they need 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 We're always outrunning that flood And I wanna let out howls of love so bold and rough and tough And black and mean that it would lock down your knees And block the seeds of light they need 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
