Story Behind The Song
This song was written in 2003. It is half-based on how I was feeling at the time and things I was reading about in the papers.
The line "He wakes begins to feel the core" is a reference to Dr David Kelly, an employee of the UK MoD, who committed suicide after the war in Iraq.
It is about the pressures of modern life, frustrations of the youth, etc.

Lyrics
Sunlight appearing on my wall
No change and nowhere left to grow I'm sure
I'm almost done
He wakes begins to feel the core
Dry taste of wine and supermarket stores
But if you're looking for a sign
You may as well just waste your precious time or...
Run rabbit run
Squeeze all the life you have lived and learnt
Run rabbit run
Break off the pressure and watch it rise
Another day another tale unfolds
Amongst the cries of screaming young ring true but go
So often unheard
Pulsing ambition and desire
Sometimes it corners you and leaves you scared
But if you're waiting for a sign
You may as well just wait and hold on tight or...
{chorus repeat}
And if I run I'll be strong
And if I fall I won't break
Come into my world
Come inside where you belong
{chorus repeat}
Run rabbit run
No-one's invicible to the gun
Run rabbit run
Feel so alone I'm not the only one
