A Desperate Race Lyrics

A desperate race into the rain

For one's embrace

I shouldn't smile

But it tugs me there and it lasts while

I start to cry

Pillows stained, running black like the rain

I'm alone like the last man on the moon

But this pain's not enough

He'd probably call my bluff

I just wanna know

The essence of it all

A moment where I'm human

And I'm not faking it all

Like a little child

Wanna hold it in my arms

Pat the head of humankind

Who tries loss after loss

There's something real

I know it's there

But still I feel it's all a joke

And the punchline is me

Pretending to feel like the people on TV

I just wanna know

The essence of it all

A moment where I'm human

And I'm not faking it all

Like a little child

Wanna hold it in my arms

Pat the head of humankind

Who tries loss after loss
