Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Let me run

Expressing a desire for freedom or escape


I've come to beg for forgiveness

Requesting forgiveness

So forgive me

Acknowledging wrongdoing and seeking pardon

And I'll take all that I'm given

Willing to accept consequences and responsibilities

All that I'm given

Reiterating the acceptance of whatever is given

And I dream to live by your reason

Aspiring to live according to someone else's rationale

I am a reason

Identifying oneself as a rational being

But I read all of my speeches

Claiming to have read and understood one's own speeches

All of my speeches

Emphasizing the importance of one's speeches


My workstation of the dawn

Describing a workspace at the beginning of the day

Doesn't mean that much

Downplaying the significance of the mentioned workstation


And Ive come to beg for forgiveness

Reiterating the request for forgiveness

So forgive me

Repeating the acknowledgment of wrongdoing and seeking forgiveness

And I'll take all that I'm given

Reaffirming the willingness to accept consequences

All that I'm given

Reiterating the acceptance of whatever is given

And I try to teach by my doing

Attempting to impart lessons through actions

Your undoing

Suggesting that one's actions may lead to the undoing of another

But my time will be your ruin

Stating that one's existence or actions will be detrimental to others

Will be your ruin

Reiterating the negative impact of one's presence or actions


My workstation of the dawn

Repeating the description of the mentioned workstation

Doesn't mean that much

Reiterating the idea that the workstation is not of great significance
