******* through his teeth
The runner carries on
No arms to love his lover
No hands to play his song
Squinting through his tears
The runner carries on
No heart to love his lover
No head to write his song
No clock move forward
No bag to hold his bones
No blood to fill his veins
No house to call his home
You probably think it's pleasant
To have a mouth filled up with stars
The runner will tell you otherwise
That he's a liar; yes you are
Of course it's very fickle
The pain the runner feels
But every time he loses himself
The demons back off of his heels
So if you ask the runner
Why it is he runs
He'll probably end up telling you
Its always just for fun
Runner, runner, runner
Runner; run, run, run
No arms to love his lover
No hands to hold his gun

Run Runner run,
run not because it's fun,
because you're scared of something
that you know is true,
I know you're running,
running from you.

Run runner run,
you're going so fast,
you think you're the only one.
This isn't a race,
with a prize in the end,
you're running for your life,
instead of standing to defend.

So run runner Run.
Let's all see you try,
to beat the beating sun.
You'll be tormented and tried,
all alone on the way,
if you keep on running,
running this way.

So where are you going,
oh friend of mine?
When all you do is just run
to the place with no finish line?

Or what will you do,
even if there was one,
would you still keep running,
even when it was all done?

Run Runner Run,
for that's all you ever knew,
a runner's run, is all they ever know how to do.

Or does it have to always be this way,
on this torturous path they stay.
Or can they stop, to take a breath once and a while,
to notice that they've been running no where,
when they have to crawl the mile.

But if you stopped and waited,
for us to reach you,
we'll give you a hand,
that's what we'll do.
Heck, we'll do one better,
we'll give you our lives,
cause we're all in this together,
all with different drives.

So runner quit runnin,
you ain't goin' no-where,
when you're just runnin in place,
we just stop to stare.
