Run So Far

[Verse 1] I packed my fear in a paper bag Held it close like a live wire snake They said, “Go heal, go walk back in” But my ribs keep knocking on the gate I know the road I gotta take I know the name of what I lost Still my hands shake like bad first steps On a bridge built out of cost [Pre-Chorus] And that voice, that voice It screams, “Get out” Run before it folds you in Run before the walls cave down [Chorus] Run so far, run so fast I’m just a blur, I’m just that scared Run so far, run so fast (Come on, come on) I can’t stay there Too much pain, too much weight They say safe hands can cut like knives Run so far, run so fast I’m racing my own life [Verse 2] They got soft eyes, they got kind words They got forms and chairs and names But every room smells like old thunder And my body flinches at the flame I’m a fly in a shaking web Caught in “help” with a bruised-up pulse One part me wants to break right through One part me wants to lock the doors [Pre-Chorus] And that voice, that voice It screams, “Get out” Run before they make you face Every ghost you never asked [Chorus] Run so far, run so fast I’m just a blur, I’m just that scared Run so far, run so fast (Come on, come on) I can’t stay there Too much pain, too much weight They say safe hands can cut like knives Run so far, run so fast I’m racing my own life [Bridge] If I stay, will I shatter? If I leave, will I rot? I am tired of being brave When brave feels like a trap Still I breathe through the panic Still I stand in the clash If I run, don’t call it weakness If I crawl, don’t call it back [Final Chorus] Run so far, run so fast I’m just a blur, I’m just that scared Run so far, run so fast (Scream it out) I can’t stay there Too much pain, too much weight But I want out of this alive Run so far, run so fast I’m racing to survive [Outro] Run so far Run so fast I’m still here I’m still here
