A song about the inevitability of fate and tragedy.
When your numbers up - theres nothing much you can do to prevent it.

Many thanks to Whitewolf for some incredible and very generous stems. I turned the rhodes into the drone siren hook and built the rest from there from the other stems.

“Run out of Time”

The clock ticks
it unwinds -
our fate is swinging by a heartbeat all the time
Father Time
he’s not blind
he’s just another that is running out of time

He’s just a running out of time

The glass breaks
She spills wine
nobodys winning
at the scene of the crime
the car stops
a stop sign
the truck keeps coming
and she’s running out of time

she’s running out time

Some people they say
you can carve out your path
I think we’re just passengers
(take the last laugh)
Stand over there
-file in a line-
patiently wait ‘til we run out of time

So dont even bother
just standing in line
the party is over
when we run out of time
wasting your breath if you’re after a sign
oh when we run out of time

(We all run out of time)

His head’s placed
on the pillow
he turns it over for cooler side
He’s on the slow train out of Philo
it’s rolling faster than a runaway bride
the curve breaks
it’s too fast
this perfect morning on the rails wont last
crash of steel
it burns fire
another morning now he’s running out of wire

Oh we’re running out of time…
keep on running out of time

So don’t even bother
just standing in line
the party is over
when we run out of time
you’re wasting your breath if you’re after a sign
oh when we run out of time
The last man standing
he’s got nothing to say
dip of his hat
he says “just have a nice day”
nothing to waste
just stand in the line
when we run out of time…

We all run out of time….

Editorial pick

Alternative electro rock track that contemplates the inevitability of our fate as humans. Scomber’s sentimental, powerful vocals are combined with Whitewolf’s brilliantly produced backing track.
