Run & Tell

The trees prayed for the water and the drought was on the way The horizon to the border was crying out for rain I should have seen the warnings and I should have seen the signs A moment's hesitation can cost a man his life So run and tell the children the fires burning bright The walls collapsed there's no escape life flashed before my eyes I’m paralysed by fear my hands are gripped so tight The smoke is creeping in my god we’re running out of time The wind changed its direction and the air began to rise The tension grew in silence as the red filled up the skies. I should have seen the warnings and I should have seen the signs When life hangs in the balance you’d do anything to survive So run and tell the children the fires burning bright The walls collapsed there's no escape life flashed before my eyes I’m paralysed by fear my hands are gripped so tight The smoke is creeping in my god we’re running out of time Running out of time Your running out of time Your running out of time So run and tell the children the fires burning bright The walls collapsed there's no escape life flashed before my eyes I’m paralysed by fear my hands are gripped so tight The smoke is creeping in my god we’re running out of time So run and tell the children the fires burning bright The walls collapsed there's no escape life flashed before my eyes I’m paralysed by fear my hands are gripped so tight The smoke is creeping in my god we’re running out of time

You and me baby we are history Better bite your tongue before you speak Just pack your bags and leave get gone Out of sight out I’m on a holiday Cuz you’ve got nothing good to say My minds made up anyway so long Once you want it I don’t want it once you got it I’ll take it away Stomach filler silent killer fill mine up with pain and misery What you’ve got is nothing inside Inside nothings everything and everything is made to suffer Everything is made to sin Once you want it I don’t want it once you got it I’ll take it away Watching as you beg for mercy You and me baby I’m in ecstasy Can’t hold my breath another week Just buy your ticket home get gone Out of mind out I’m going far away Cuz you were never good for me Your time was up yesterday so long Once you want it I don’t want it once you got it I’ll take it away Stomach filler silent killer fill mine up with pain and misery What you’ve got is nothing inside Inside nothings everything and everything is made to suffer Everything is made to sin Once you want it I don’t want it once you got it I’ll take it away Watching as you beg for mercy I’m never giving in I’ll never be the same I’ll hold my head up high Higher than you will Once you want it I don’t want it once you got it I’ll take it away Stomach filler silent killer fill mine up with pain and misery What you’ve got is nothing inside Inside nothings everything and everything is made to suffer Everything is made to sin Once you want it I don’t want it once you got it I’ll take it away Watching as you beg for mercy

Black and white do you feel understood Is it hard enough for to get your point across Do you knock on wood Dumb and blind can you not be taught Any time you’re in the line nothing to say Got no retort Shade of grey are you comfortable Do you need to rubricize everything in your eyes With a dumb label Simplify to an imbecile Can I get through to you with a cheap shot Or a silly thrill Don’t try to sugar coat it or I’ll just give it back Don’t try to meet me half way or else I will attack Don’t try to sugar coat it or I’ll just give it back Don’t try to meet me half way or else I will attack Compromise is that all you say Backbone ain’t thick enough to be so tough Have it your own way Analyse with a dusty lens Elementary to you cuz you can’t predict Let us not pretend Shade of grey are you comfortable Do you need to rubricize everything in your eyes With a dumb label Simplify to an imbecile Can I get through to you with a cheap shot Or a silly thrill Don’t try to sugar coat it or I’ll just give it back Don’t try to meet me half way or else I will attack Don’t try to sugar coat it or I’ll just give it back Don’t try to meet me half way or else I will attack Caught in fantasies and stories so blind You haven’t one second to open your mind Perspectives collectives the shelves of the past Our histories unique and the knowledge so vast Pray hell hits high water you’re so self-assured You found all the right keys but locked all the doors Your bigotry rules you’re insane like the fools Don’t tell me you’re empty your cup is so full Don’t try to sugar coat it or I’ll just give it back Don’t try to meet me half way or else I will attack Don’t try to sugar coat it or I’ll just give it back Don’t try to meet me half way or else I will attack

I took a bullet for your ego And you were wearing fucking halos You tried to pull me like a puppet But why would I this dog bites So burn these plans I had cuz I don’t need them anymore Cuz the way I used to fight only won the battles not the war Pretty liar welcome to the show Pretty liar ain’t got no-one to hold Pretty liar better back yourself down Pretty liar ain’t got no-one around You tried to play me like a bishop And fill the game with dirty mirrors Don’t try to win this with forgiveness It’s my move now I’ll show you how So burn these plans I had cuz I don’t need them anymore Cuz the way I used to fight only won the battles not the war Pretty liar welcome to the show Pretty liar ain’t got no-one to hold Pretty liar better back yourself down Pretty liar ain’t got no-one around Finger pointing the finger Pointing the finger at me Finger pointing the finger Pointing the finger at me Don’t try to win this with forgiveness It’s my move now I’ll show you how So burn these plans I had cuz I don’t need them anymore Cuz the way I used to fight only won the battles not the war Pretty liar welcome to the show Pretty liar ain’t got no-one to hold Pretty liar better back yourself down Pretty liar ain’t got no-one around Finger pointing the finger Pointing the finger at me Finger pointing the finger Pointing the finger at me
