I let the beast in too soon, I don't know how to live
Without my hand on his throat; I fight him always and still
Oh darling, it's so sweet, you're think you know how crazy
How crazy I am
You say you don't spook easy, you won't go, but I know
And I pray that you will
Fast as you can, baby run, free yourself of me
Fast as you can

I may be soft in your palm but I'll soon grow
Hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win
My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will
Disprove your faith in man
So if you catch me trying to find my way into your
Heart from under your skin
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can
Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Fast as you can

Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
But most of the time, it does
And I get to a place where I'm begging for a lift
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
And you give me some more of your drugs
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift
'Cuz I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
Just need a little because, because

I let the beast in and then;
I even tried forgiving him, but it's too soon
So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again.
And for a little while more, I'll soar the
Uneven wind, complain and blame
The sterile land
But if you're getting any bright ideas, quiet dear
I'm blooming within
Fast as you can, baby wait watch me, I'll be out
Fast as I can, maybe late but at least about
Fast as you can leave me, let this thing
Run its route
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can
Fast as you can

OH SHIT I WANT TO SEE THIS NOW! WHY AM I AT WORRRRK?

(I am having some Lost feels of late, trying to run a ficathon and errthang at lostsquee -- and KATE is by far my favorite character on that show! YOU ROCK FOR MAKING THIS. I NEED TO VID AGAIN.)

Have you watched one of the chronologically edited versions? I won't stop talking about it until everyone has watched it.

I still have more Lost feelings. I will never be over Kate.

No but I should. Also this was BRILLIANT and so worth the wait. I forgot out breakneck the pacing of that song was. Perfect song choice! Inspired editing! All the feels! Well done my friend.

It's interesting to see the characters differently. And storylines too.

This song is perfect for Kate, OMG.

Thanks!

Seeing it in chronological order reaaaally puts in perspective how much crap Kate's been through (also, how much I missed when I stopped watch from like season 3 until the finale). I really like the song for this, because it, just like Kate, keeps running and running except for the few moments where it sort of settles (but never too long before it takes off running again, until the very end). This was awesome.

Thanks! Kate is so underrated, omg.
