- Alexipharmic - Run Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- Six AM sunrise shine, define through my eyes
- As I dust off the memories of my second life's lies
- Another Autumn day forgotten, coalesce and fade away
- Start to shimmer with vibrance, vacate, then fade to grey
- So I run... I run away
- I run until it feels as though my toes will fall off
- Until it seems that they've been covered up in frost and then lost
- I run until the year is 1998
- Standing in the oval office, beg Clinton to vacate
- Prevent the trip from being taken down to the cigar store
- Prevent Bush from ever getting his foot in the door
- Inform Bill of the next years of Hell he'll unleash
- Should Republicans ever find the stains on the sheets
- Armed guards start towards me, each one drawing their guns
- B.C. turns to me and tells me "You'd Better Run"
- So I... I run
- I run until it feels as though my feet are on coals
- Until it seems I have no arches, til I burn off my soles
- I run until the year is 1971
- In the Vietnam jungles, looking out for Vietcong
- Bodies bloodied and bare, strewn about on the ground
- Mortars drop through the air, silence screams all around
- I place my hands on the eyes of ‘blessed' soldiers still alive
- The images of war wont always burn in their minds
- Behind the enemy lines, separate from Patrol One
- The soldier in the foxhole screams, "You'd Better Run"
- So I... I run
- I run until it feels as though my knees are split in half
- Like for hours I've been using a concrete hackey-sack
- I run, I'm in Versailles, the year is 1919
- Tell Italy, France, and England the future I've seen
- I beg them not to be egomaniacal pricks
- To look further down the road, not for a simple quick fix
- Let Ho Chi Min in, treat Germany better - no question
- And effectively quell decades of war and oppression
- I'm drawing blank stares from the leaders that have won
- Woody Wilson turns to me and tells me "You'd Better Run"
- So I... I run
- I run until it feels as though my shins are caved in
- And I haven't got a clue how I'm running or standing
- I run, and now the year is 1618
- I'm standing on the shores of Angola between
- The first Dutch trader to turn African's into slaves
- And the first potential slaves that I'm destined to save
- I tell him no way in hell he'll take these people today
- And he gets on his ship, never to come back, and sails away
- At this point my body's numb, but with countless deeds undone
- Get up, dust myself off, and decide I'd better run
- So I... I run
- I run until it feels like my legs are spaghetti
- Until it seems as though my tank has been perpetually empty
- I run, and the year is 14 hundred 92
- I'm on the lone maiden voyage, sailing the ocean of blue
- Columbus' crew crouches, crowded, shrouded, covered in small pox
- Disease infested rats crawling in the pine box
- Split second before the never seen land peaks
- I drill a hole in each ship so every last one sinks
- Save the natives from decimation, I stand beneath the sun
- A voice in my head tells me "You'd Better Run"
- So I... I run
- I run until it feels like my lungs will collapse
- Until it seems as though I'm forever on eternal last laps
- I run, it's only one day prior to year one
- Hour before the last supper of supposed God's Son
- Stop Judas from betraying, keep Jesus alive
- So all can see that true God is really found on inside
- Jesus no longer a martyr, now a simple prophet
- No more future crusades... I ceased it, I stopped it
- Pontius Pilate peers perplexed at just what I'd done
- Sets sprinting after me, shouting "You'd Better Run"
- So I... I run
- I run until it feels though my heart will implode
- Like my blood's reversed direction, ‘til my heart explodes
- I run I reach a time before time was invented
- Before the modern man hustled, before the earth was indebted
- In the land of the Sahara, the first prehistoric man
- Sits next to me in awe, in his little plot of sand
- Displays to me the genesis of modern bombs and guns
- I look at him, sullen, destroy every single one
- Then, completely content with just what I had done
- I sit down on the ground, I no longer have to run
