Runners Lyrics
There are these gremlins
A fleet of them
Millions
Conspiring inside my head
They want to trap me
With systems collapsing
Around the mistakes I’ve made
This opposition has ruled my ambition
To flee from this crushing fate
From my decisions
And futile condition
Away from this game I play
Why do I gravitate towards one thing more than any other?
If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend
That everything I am running from won’t catch me in the end
But still the cataclysmic fissure is near
Hold your breath till it’s all over, maybe we’ll be here
I can’t hide from the damage that’s been done
But I can try to release myself and run
I try to face them
And try to erase them
And banish them from my head
They come in tidal waves
Earthquakes
And hurricanes
All of the things I dread
All my addictions
And other afflictions
Calamity up ahead!
What to protect me?
No signs to direct me
Away from the life I’ve lead
Why do I gravitate towards one thing more than any other?
If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend
That everything I am running from won’t catch me in the end
But still the cataclysmic fissure is near
Hold your breath till it’s all over, maybe we’ll be here
If I keep pressing on then I can still pretend
That everything I am running from won’t catch me in the end
But still the cataclysmic fissure is near
Hold your breath till it’s all over, maybe we’ll be here
