Run

You hear the faint whispers of metal clanking down the hall,

You wonder what’s that sound,

You hear it stop and think maybe it was nothing after all,

You need to lie back down,

You hear the sound and now its shrieking through the walls,

It makes you turn around,

Are you surprised by what you see,

It’s got claws and rows of teeth,

And it’s looking at you and me,

I’m your voice of reasoning,

But how much you need to see,

Before you need to flee,

Run, pick up the pace,

Or you gotta face,

That thing behind,

Run, keep outta reach,

Or it’s gonna teach,

This an’t in your mind,

So run for your life,

(Run for your life)

It’s right behind,

(Run for your life)

Not in your mind,

(Run for your life)

So run for your life,

Heart racing, your blood is still apacing’,

Straight up n’ down your spine,

There’s no mistaking, that thing is only breaking,

You down inside your mind,

N’ you can’t fight it,

It’ll only make you bite it,

Trust me it’s a waste of time,

Are you surprised by what you see,

It’s got claws and rows of teeth,

And it’s looking at you and me,

I’m your voice of reasoning,

But how much you need to see,

Before you need to flee,

Run, pick up the pace,

Or you gotta face,

That thing behind,

Run, keep outta reach,

Or it’s gonna teach,

This an’t in your mind,

So run for your life,

(Run for your life)

It’s right behind,

(Run for your life)

Not in your mind,

(Run for your life)

So run for your life,

An arm away,

Was a small price to pay,

To get out with your life,

With that out the way,

I’m dreading the day,

That thing comes back in mind,

What was that thing,

And why was it coming after me,

I don’t know what I’ve done this time,

I couldn’t see,

But I think I saw it in a dream,

Come on think, this reason’s gotta have a rhyme,

Are you surprised by what you see,

It’s got claws and rows of teeth,

And it’s looking at you and me,

I’m your voice of reasoning,

But how much you need to see,

Before you need to flee,

Run, pick up the pace,

Or you gotta face,

That thing behind,

Run, keep outta reach,

Or it’s gonna teach,

This an’t in your mind,

So run for your life,

(Run for your life)

It’s right behind,

(Run for your life)

Not in your mind,

(Run for your life)

So run for your life,
