[Verse 1]
I've watched you wander about
With nowhere to go but down
Or back to beginnings
I never wanted you out
To follow the broken path
Down to your ending

[Pre-Chorus]
Guilty hands have paved the way
To emptiness
So tell me

[Chorus]
Why do you run?
Why are you hiding?
The guilt will know where to find you
Lay down your guns
What are you fighting?
Is my name not forgiveness?

[Verse 2]
I see you withering now
A stubborn little broken man
So lost and alone
I wish that I could amend
The heart of my fading friend
But you would rather have it your way

[Pre-Chorus]
Guilty hands have paved the way
To emptiness
So tell me

[Chorus]
Why do you run?
Why are you hiding?
The guilt will know where to find you
Lay down your guns
What are you fighting?
Is my name not forgiveness?

[Bridge]
Would you swallow your pride
And let me erase your stains
You run and you hide
But the darkness will have it's way
I never wanted you to find your end
So

[Chorus]
Why do you run?
Why are you hiding?
The guilt will know where to find you
Lay down your guns
What are you fighting?
Is my name not forgiveness?

[Outro]
(What are you fighting?)
(What are you fighting?)
(What are you fighting?)

    My Interpretation

    I think this is about not being able to hide from the truth when one is guilty. The true villain will always be revealed in the end, they can't pull the wool over everyone's eyes forever.
