Theres something in the dark
It's closing in on me
I can't wait till I can see
I think I'll be running
Wake up time is moving faster than ever i'll ask for feel the air turn cold again
Listen i can hear my breathing i know my heart is beating but it's slowing down slowing down
Faster than a wild flame
the people are gone i still remember their names
there are faces that i can see all i can tell is they're shouting for me
as i'm racing into the night
if this is the end there will be a fight
there are hands reaching out for me
If only i can give what they want to see
My eyes flash like silver lightning the dark is close to blinding but i can make out shapes that creep
i am weighted down but i flee something lurks behind me i hear it now hear it now
Stop and turn to look behind me the space is simply empty there's nothing here no nothing here but me
Theres nothing but the dark
as empty as can be
i wish there is something more than me
There's no more running
