Out Of The Running Lyrics

Once an idealist
guess i had such high hopes
so unsuspecting

can't say i blame you
dream of a family
dream of perfection

it's all so tempting
it's all so empty
the life you're expecting
i wonder if it comes true
will you be happy?

there's nothing like security
to block your view of what could be
a life of comfort reeks of mediocrity

isn't it awful
hiding behind a mask
under sedation

just like an apple
dying under the wax
it's suffocation

it's all so tempting
it's all so empty
the life you're expecting
i wonder if it comes true
will you be happy?

there's nothing like security
to block your view of what could be
a life of comfort reeks of mediocrity

running
are you out of the running
running out
are you running
are you out of the running
running out
are you shining
brightly shining
burning out
