Run Faster

And you're running even faster
through the shallows of the dark
and you don't know where you're going
feeding frenzy, like a shark
dripping blood in your mouth
salty life sopure sosweet
and inside you are screaming
thousand knives in a heartbeat pumping blood, pumping life
teeth lengthen fur is growing
and you've nowhere left to go
just runfaster as you're going
by the way
is it May?
where's the warmth inside you going

In the dark, in the night
and you're beating at her door
at three AM and you're screaming
cause you've done it all before
and you're crying and you're bleeding
and you're ripping at your hair
nothing changes, nothing matters
cause you know that she's not there

In the park, at the swingset
where you met three years ago
smiling laughing, swinging higher
when your heart twisted just so
and you thought and you cared
but inside you knew much better
blame yourself, someone else
but they'll never know you, ever

And the china as it shatters
broken pieces on the floor
and you're crying and you're screaming
as you're running for the door
chains of silver, blood of water
your soul burning even hotter

Rip the moon, as it shines
through the branches in the woods
and you're snarling and you're hunting
taste the blood, kill the food
for the blood, lovely blood
ohsosalty ohsosweet
as it trickles down your tongue
as you rip into the meat
ripping flesh, razor teeth
bloodstained muzzle in the dark
in your mind a redhead angel
just one scar on you heart

In the streets, in a city
at an old apartment door
no one saves you as you're running
so runfaster than before
run away from this crowd
that you never really knew
you're screaming and you're dying
but you know what they would do
silver chains, silver bullets
kill and torture, don't forgive
and tears are running down your face
just try and find a way to live

In the dark, in the shadows
just a creature of the night
dreaming of a redhead angel
darkness clinging to the light
and you're alone, and you're screaming
lying on the forest floor
breathing harder, breathing faster
and you've never hurt more
broken heart, broken dreams
broken body broken soul
lying helpless in the dark
and you wonder if you'll last
or if you'll soul will fall apart
stuck in echoes of the past
haunted ripped and torn-up heart

Another moon, another curse
another scar upon your skin
another stanza, another verse
but you never dare to dream
not for you, not a werwolf
trapped within the moon
and you're praying and you're hoping
that this will all end soon
but inside you know better
trapped in midnight dreams
so just runfaster and someday
you just might outrun your scream...
