Lyrics

Yeah
Still runnin'
Mmm, yeah
Still runnin'
Yeah
Still runnin'
Got me lost in my thoughts again
City full of ghosts, I'm just tryna find a friend
Woke up to the same pain, same rain on the window pane
Heart heavy like the chains that I chose to maintain
Demons doin' laps inside my head every night
I tell 'em not today, but they still wanna fight
Scars on my soul, but I wear 'em like designer
Turn all my losses into somethin' that's finer
Late nights, no sleep, just the glow from the streetlights
Wonderin' if the tunnel ever shows a little light
I keep movin' though, feet on the concrete
Runnin' from the old me, can't afford to be weak
Runaway shadows
I can't shake 'em off me
Piano in my ears
Tellin' stories 'bout me
Live or die tryin', that's the only option
Heart cold, but the fire's still burnin' in my chest
Mmm
Runaway shadows, dancin' in the dark with me
Red in my blood, it's the life they carved for me
One life, one fight, no escapin' what it is
So I live anyway, yeah
I seen kings lose they crowns in a single bad decision
Turn my back on fake love, now I'm in a different position
Smoke clouds in the air, blurrin' all my visions
But the mirror don't lie, I still see the missions
They want me broken, folded, givin' up the fight
I just laugh in the silence of another lonely night
Carry my own weight, no complainin' 'bout the load
Every scar a chapter in the story that I wrote
From the bottom lookin' up, the view kinda clear
Even when the sky gray, I still hold it down here
No handouts, just hands out for the ones that I trust
The rest get the silence, that's the only language I trust
Runaway shadows (Oh)
I can't shake 'em off me (Yeah)
Piano in my ears (Mmm)
Tellin' stories 'bout me (Yeah)
Live or die tryin', that's the only option (Oh)
Heart cold, but the fire's still burnin' in my chest
Mmm
Runaway shadows, dancin' in the dark with me
Red in my blood, it's the life they carved for me
One life, one fight, no escapin' what it is
So I live anyway, yeah
I live anyway
Still here
Runnin'
But I'm still here
Cold world
Final chapter unfoldin', I can feel the pages turnin'
Lessons in the losses, that's the part I'm learnin'
No fairytale ending, just the dirt and the grind
But every time I fall, I get back up on my time
The piano keeps playin' like it knows my whole life
Minor keys and minor setbacks, still I write
Through the pain, through the rain, through the nights with no end
I just breathe, reload, and do it all again
It's the real, no cap, no filter on the lens
Dark days, but I'm built for whatever they send
Runaway shadows
I can't shake 'em off me
Piano in my ears
Tellin' stories 'bout me
Live or die tryin', that's the only option
Heart cold, but the fire's still burnin' in my chest
Mmm
Runaway shadows, dancin' in the dark with me
Red in my blood, it's the life they carved for me
One life, one fight, no escapin' what it is
So I live anyway, yeah
Live anyway
Live anyway, yeah
Runaway
