Lyrics for Time is Running Out

I think I'm drowning Asphyxiated I wanna break the spell That you've created You're something beautiful A contradiction I wanna play the game I want the friction You will be the death of me Yeah, you will be the death of me Bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it And our time is running out And our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out I wanted freedom Bound and restricted I tried to give you up But I'm addicted Now that you know I'm trapped Sense of elation You'd never dream of Breaking this fixation You will squeeze the life out of me Bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it And our time is running out And our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out How did it come to this? Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah Yeah, you will suck the life out of me Bury it I won't let you bury it I won't let you smother it I won't let you murder it And our time is running out And our time is running out You can't push it underground You can't stop it screaming out How did it come to this? Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Ooh, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah
