Run Away from the Beast

Quick, quick, quick
Runaway from the beast
There's a bullet flying close
Runaway from the beast
He wants you to come back and join him while he sins
But you wanna' stay away, stay away, stay away

Hardy on the turn, the riot comes in view
It's blocking your path to the safe zone
The beast is out to get you
Run away, run away
The riot stops you cold to rain on your parade

Another projectile flies by
Run away, run away
The beast wants your brain and your pain and the game
You try to stay away but the riot has stopped your view

The end is close
It's pounding "I'm" your ears
Beast breath trails hard on your neck when you stumble
Run away, run away, run away from the beast
The moon is a crescent slicing stars in the sky

No one can see you now
Where is the riot?
It left in the commotion of the deaths
Blood plastered over all corners of the streets
Marks the split of the riot
Miscellaneous trash fills the paved black

The beast can swipe you, now he's that close
Will you let him? Will you let him?
Someone is inside your skin
Holding each muscle with all of his or her strength

It hurts, the fire, burning through like barbed wire
Your mind's the liar
But you let it keep on lying
Run away, run away, run away
And don't give up

Each lacking step the beast becomes badder
Each harder step the beast becomes madder
By now it's cat and mouse
Who can keep it up?
You better

Run away, run away, run away
To the light, it's almost there
You can slack a little
The light, the light
It's the first not of the night

You reach the light
The nightmare is gone
You're in a good place away from the beast

There's always food on the table
And a warm heated couch
A person's warm touch
And only nightmares of the beast

How did you get away again?
