lyrics

Shock across the town,
I've carried my cross into the night
And now there howling at my door to scrape
The raw material from my mind
I'm running on empty, I'm running to fall
Praying to die at the hands of the wolf
Have you ever had writers' block before?

Because there's nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Can't hide from myself can't hide from the sun
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Counting down the seconds is my kind of fun
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Scared to death if being caught without a gun
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to run
Another night lost to the page, where I begun

Scratching my head enough to bleed,
Better than being caught without ink,
Because I'm running on empty and I'm running to fall
Praying to die at the hands of the world

And I've been here too many times before
To settle my debt with the crowd, I know the score
Be patient, you'll have to wait for me
I'll quicken the pace if you sing for me

I'm burning at my limbs, struggling to remember how I even got in this
I swear it's not my fault,
Another night of writing I'll be off my fucking skull

And I can't be a creative
When I'm stuck in the old songs, contemplating
And I can't be, anticipating
To have a hit on the radio, the one I'm always chasing

There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to run
There's nowhere to
Run
