Hanging by a thread as I play dead
Hanging by a thread and my mind is code red
Cut and run, try to hide, get away
Shut my eyes just to hide from the fate
Cut and run, try to hide, get away
Cover up, get shelter from the hate

Demonized, liquified, tranquilized
Prophesied just to hide from life
Night and day, led astray in decay
Come what may, not to face that fight

Seething, breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run, still my shadows follow

Never can I stop ′cause they hunt me
Never can I stop 'cause the beast is hungry
Like a wolf on the hunt, stalking prey
Closing in, no, it won′t let me be
Like a wolf on the hunt, stalks a prey
Any cost, fulfill a destiny

Seething, fast breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run, still my shadows follow
On I run, but still my shadows follow

Cut and run, hide away from fate
Cover up, try to hide the hate
Like a wolf, it won't let me be
Closing in, wish away, shut my eyes

Wish it away

Seething, fast breathing
Nightmares grow
On I run, still my shadows follow
Facing my demons, now I know
If I run, still my shadows follow

I say no! Still my shadows follow
