Selfish - Tempus Canvas

Behind

6. Selfish - by: Paint The Cave

The warning from the trees was fresh today

Toss our hearts, and we run away

And I don't need to outrun the beast

Just need to outrun you

_

It's gaining on us now

Tough skin kicks in, it can't get us all

And do you hear its call?

One of us had better take the fall

And I don't need to outrun the beast

Just need to outrun you

_

Here's a toast to those who fell

So we could carry on

Here's a toast to those who fell

So we could carry on

Can't forget the ones who fell

Can't forget the ones who fell behind
