As the Dragon Runs

[Verse 1]
I don't think you're hearing me now
Time is ticking, you're not listening
Spiralling down beyond the ground
Safety net gone, it's all gone wrong

I don't need you, I don't want to
Dwell in this place, find your own space
Heat has left now, stop this somehow
Open your eyes, no time for lies

[Refrain]
And as the dragon runs
Everything behind it burns

[Verse 2]
Hard times looming, flowers blooming
Tears and laughter ever after
Darken spoons and head in the sand
Veins are burning, there's no turning

Feeding control, eating your soul
Make a killing, take a shilling
Hiding your eyes, try to disguise
Needles and pins, nightmares and dreams

[Refrain]
And as the dragon runs
Everything behind it burns

[Verse 3]
Fever's growing, time is slowing
Nothing matters, life's in tatters
Not just yours though, all sold out, chum
Glass in heartbreak, metal handshake

Morning scurry, your one worry
Death as I shout, as I'm cleared out
You build brown dreams, I kiss could've-beens
See the red lights, stop and goodnight
