Burn the Daylight

Taken by forces that come from behind
Life’s little mines hidden from sight
Worming their way deeply into our minds
Tell us it’s all right
So we run, run on while we still can
Ravenous just like the living dead
Caught between the rebels and the minions
Striving on to keep our spirits fed
Burn the daylight
Rip up the road
It’s not enough to survive
Hit the red line
Or we’re swallowed
I need to know I’m alive
Creeping up slowly, we fall one by one
Held softly in
Life’s easy chair
Changes subtle we hardly notice
Drifting unware
So we run, run on while we still can
Ravenous just like the living dead
Caught between the rebels and the minions
Striving on to keep our spirits fed
Burn the daylight
Rip up the road
It’s not enough to survive
Hit the red line
Or we’re swallowed
I need to know I’m alive
