I Keep Running

Uhm, uhm, uhm I was fine till the room went quiet I was fine till I heard my name I keep a straight face, bad dream, good shoes Walk in like I got nothing to lose Phone lights up, but I don’t reply Same old ghost with a brand new lie I been low, but I dress it clean Smile too wide for the shape I’m in Everybody asks, I say “all good Like I don’t hear the floorboards move And that guitar keeps ringing Like a bell in an empty hall And that cello keeps sinking Like it knows where I’m gonna fall Uhm, uhm, uhm I don’t say it, but it comes through Uhm, uhm, uhm All the things I never told you Uhm, uhm, uhm There’s a crack in the room Uhm, uhm, uhm And it sounds like you Kick drum creeps in, heart starts counting Four walls shake when the bass starts mounting I was half alive, now I’m wide awake Trying to outrun what I couldn’t shake Hands in the air, but my head stays heavy Crowd goes wild, but my chest ain’t ready I don’t need peace, I need one clear second One small truth in a house full of echoes Uhm, uhm, uhm Hold me under, pull me through Uhm, uhm, uhm I can feel the room turn blue The guitar rings The cello cries The beat comes up And I don’t hide Uhm, uhm, uhm I keep running, I keep running Uhm, uhm, uhm But the night keeps coming Uhm, uhm, uhm Bassline under my skin Uhm, uhm, uhm Let the broken thing begin Take the drums out, leave the ache Leave the string and the chord that breaks I was young when the silence grew Now I drag it into every room I don’t blame you, I don’t know how I just feel it getting louder now One more breath, one more bruise One more song I can’t refuse Uhm, uhm, uhm I keep running, I keep running Uhm, uhm, uhm But the night keeps coming Uhm, uhm, uhm If I break, let it ring Uhm, uhm, uhm Make a ghost into a thing Uhm, uhm, uhm Guitar screaming through the blue Uhm, uhm, uhm Cello dragging me to you Uhm, uhm, uhm I was fine till the room went quiet I was fine till I heard my name Uhm, uhm, uhm, uhm Uhm, uhm, uhm, uhm
