How fast you gonna run? Away from this one.
|
Anywhere but here, you wanna disappear.
|
Into the next daylight, where everything's right.
|
It's always somewhere else, you're gonna fix yourself.
|
Once shame and guilt had made their mark.
|
|
Well you can't run away from the nagging dark.
|
You carry it everywhere in your heart.
|
It finishes everything that you start.
|
And, you can't run away from the nagging dark.
|
|
How much you gonna cost? When everything's lost.
|
What a price you'd pay, just to feel some way.
|
Cause your heart has stone, round down to the bone.
|
How your flesh and blood, is just ashes and mud.
|
Feels like your soul's been blown apart.
|
|
And you can't run away from the nagging dark.
|
You carry it everywhere in your heart.
|
It finishes everything that you start.
|
You can't run away from the nagging dark.
|
|
How far can you see? Will you ever be free?
|
Through the blackest night, aw you still hold on tight.
|
Hope is your finest work. It's your finest work.
|
Hope is your finest work of all.
|
|
And you can't run away from the nagging dark.
|
You carry it everywhere in your heart.
|
It finishes everything that you start.
|
No you can't run away from the-
|
Well you can't run away from the nagging dark.
|
It finishes everything that you start.
|
You carry it everywhere in your heart.
|
You can't run away from the nagging dark.
