Jessikill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The darkness is calling my name and if I go I′ll have myself to blame
These visions come to me in my dreams I can hear the echoed screams
OH no, I'm changing, OH no, run and hide while you can
Run and Hide while you can, Run and Hide while you can
Child while you can
The wolves are howling and I feel like I belong
The night wind whispers into my ear one again
Are you satisfied with all that you′ve done
In your life at the end of the night, if it's time to say goodbye?
OH no I'm changing, Oh no Run and Hide while you can
Run and Hide while you can, Run and Hide while you can
If you think this is the end for
You, Oh tell me now what you gonna do?
You′re the lucky one, Run Run till you see the sun
OH no I′m changing, Oh no Run and Hide while you can
Run and Hide while you can, Run and Hide while you can

I've been following them for a couple of years now. All of their covers are extraordinary and their originals are rocking for sure! I'm definitely a fan for sure and I'll make it out to San Antonio to see them live one day.
