A Sadness Runs Through Him - Acoustic - The Hoosiers

people are puppets held together with string

there's a beautiful sadness that runs through him

as he asked me to pray to the god he doesn't believe in

time and again boys are raised to be men

inpatient they start fearfull they end but

he was a man mourning tomorrow

who drank then finally drowned in his sorrow

oh he could not break surface tension

he looked in the wrong place for direction

don't look at me with those eyes

i tried to unheave the ties

turn back the time that drew him

but he couldn't be saved

a sadness runs through him

through him

time and again boys are raised to be men

inpatient they start fearfull they end but

he was a man mourning tomorrow

who drank then finally drowned in his sorrow

oh he could not break surface tension

he looked in the wrong place for redemption

don't look at me with those eyes

i tried to unease the ties

turn back the time that drew him

but he couldn't be saved

a sadness runs through him

through him

don't look at me with those eyes

i tried to unheave the ties

turn back the time that drew him

but he couldn't be saved

no

he couldn't be saved a sadness runs

through him

a sadness runs through him

sadness runs through him
