Feels like there's acid in my heart
My lungs were fried right from the start
Fire in my legs as I run from a thought
Race through the pain
And hope not to get caught
As I look back I see the beast gain
Taking from me all that keeps me sane
Fear makes me move but I never knew fear
And now it's found me and it's drawing near
How long can I keep this up
How long can I run
Can I get beyond the shadow before me
Will the monster fall to the sun behind me
These legs they chase and gain horrible speed
The eyes are hungry and the mouth wants to feed
Thought I can't breathe, hard and faster I push
Life drains from my face and now I'm flush
The claws reach out, the beast is closer
A thousand desires to fill
Not one breath lost from my throat
As the moment closes to kill
How long can I keep this up
How long can I run
Can I get beyond the shadow before me
Will the monster fall to the sun behind me
How long can I keep this up
How long can I run
Can I get beyond the shadow before me
Will the monster fall to the sun behind me
