Too Many Others Now Have Done It

Run...
As if you're going to get something done.

'But I'm in need of motivation.
Something to inspire to initiate.'

Run...
Can't you pretend like the others have done?

'No...
I just can't charade any poses.
To do it with no where to go.'

Run...
Why can't you masquerade?

'Too many others have done it.
And there's nothing yet they've done to prove,
But...
Run away!

Too many others have done it.
And they've...
Run away!
Too many others have done it.
And in...
Masquerade
Too many others have done it.
And they've...
Run away!

Too many others now have done it.
And they've...
Run away!
Too many others now have done it.
And in...
Masquerade
Too many others now have done it.
And they've...
Run away!
Too many others now have done it.
Too many others now have done it.
And I'm...
Not that way!
Too many others now have done it.
And I'm...
Not that way!
Too many others now have done it,
Just to...
Run.

Too many others now have done it,
Just to...
Run.

Too many others now have done it,
Just to...
Run away.
To come back wishing they'd stayed.

Too many others now have done it,
Just to...
Come back wishing they'd stayed.

Too many others now have done it,
Just to...
Come back wishing they'd stayed.
