No Way Out Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I'm running out of places
Time is running, running out
I'm running out of choices
Running running, out of luck

(Chorus)
Society's closing in on me
Too many places I have seen
There's a noose around my neck
They make me follow in their footsteps
The clock is ticking out of control
I'm gonna lose it, can't take much more
Feel the slash of their whips
Run their belts across my hips

(Verse 2)
Running into danger
Pulling on my strings
Fingers on all my problems
I'm going insane

(Chorus)
Society's closing in on me
Too many places I have seen
There's a noose around my neck
They make me follow in their footsteps
The clock is ticking out of control
I'm gonna lose it, can't take much more
Feel the slash of their whips
Run their belts across my hips
(Verse 3)
Running into problems
Makes me scream and shout
I've got no solutions
I gotta get out

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
