And when they say your name

I don't cry now

Cuz I know I am building inside

This shield for pain

To keep you out

From messing up my fragile headspace

But I can't see you, no I'll break into two

Get in the car and then I'll drive away

Away from this place, away from your face

Where we painted & our memories fade

With time not on my side I'll keep running 'til I find a safe place to hide

From the scars of memories, you stamped on every inch of me

I can't wash you off, I can't erase the thought

That we were not chosen to be

So I'll keep running and screaming

Until my heart & mind go numb on me

And when I try to start, all over

The reflections of you are spread

In every person I lay my eyes on

I see you looking back at me

You're a god damn landmark in my vision I'll take with me wherever I go

So I close my eyes, I'm walking blind

I trip up on the echos of you

With time not on my side I'll keep running 'til I find a safe place to hide

From the scars of memories, you stamped on every inch of me

I can't wash you off, I can't erase the thought

That we were not chosen to be

So I'll keep running and screaming

Until my heart & mind go numb on me

Where's the skyline

Where's the city lights

Like the devil you're a crossroad in my mind

Always passing

Never colliding

Just parallel lines that never meet

That never meet

Yeah I'll keep running and I'll keep screaming

Yeah I'll keep running and I'll keep screaming

He's just a landmark

You stamped on every inch of me

I can't wash you off, I can't erase the thought

That we were not chosen to be

So I'll keep running and screaming

Until my heart & mind go numb on me

With time not on my side

I'll keep running 'til I find a safe place to hide

I tried to kill you off in my memory, but you're just every inch of me
