  • Head down running from the beast
    Break neck speed, taking all my breath
    Black feet scraped and scarred and dripping blood
    Rain come down, take me with your flood

    I came to and I was running from you
    Feel your breath on the back of my neck
    Where have I come to be?
    Is this all that's left for me?

    I wish that I was still there
    I want to keep on breathing

    Bulls roar loud, snakes move past my feet
    No teeth, no hands, set me free
    Bones start rattling 'round inside my head
    I don't know if I'm alive or dead

    I came to and I was running from you
    Feel your breath on the back of my neck
    Where have I come to be?
    Is this all that's left for me?

    I wish that I was still there
    I want to keep on breathing

    Dig deep, kicking up rock and dirt and sand
    Out of this lifeless valley, bones in hand
    Over these mountains to the seas of life
    Leave me this desert for the sick and damned Writer/s: Brann Timothy Dailor, Troy Jayson Sanders, William Breen Kelliher, William Brent Hinds
