you're waiting for something
to erase the sting of yesterday
they want you today
they build you up to throw away

you can laugh, you can try
to put me off and step aside
holding close to open doors
to catch you before

you run away,
runaway
run away
let me in,
left me out

yet get in line
you steal some time
you'll see there's nothing left to us
you say you want something
you just take all you take

one more day
plays the same
pretty faces dull the pain

signs of dusk
chill the bones
with nothing left but

to run away,
runaway
run away
let me in,
left me out

stood standing, arms folded
an empty corridor
such a disgrace;
turn away

the new prey, collected
another feast to fall
another face,
run away

run away
runaway
run away
let me in,
left me out
