[Intro – Pulsing Synth, Distant Drums]
Heartbeat ticking in my ears
Counting down through all my fears
Every second feels too loud
Lost inside a moving crowd
[Verse 1]
No more time to hesitate
Every choice arrives too late
All the plans I never made
Now collapse and start to fade
Footsteps echo down the line
Every shadow looks like mine
Every road begins to blur
With the things I can’t deter
[Pre-Chorus]
When the walls all close at once
You don’t think—you just run
[Chorus]
Exit strategy
(I had none)
Exit strategy
(Now it’s run)
Every option come undone
(All that’s left is run)
Exit strategy
(Now it’s run)
[Refrain]
Run!
(Into the setting sun)
Run!
(Until your days are done)
Run!
(Run, run, run)
[Verse 2 – Driving Beat Kicks In]
Every breath a burning thread
Every thought just push ahead
No more looking back behind
Nothing there I need to find
Lines I drew have disappeared
Everything I thought I feared
Turns to fuel beneath my feet
Pounding out a steady beat
[Pre-Chorus]
When the ground won’t hold you still
Motion is your only will
[Chorus]
Exit strategy
(I had none)
Exit strategy
(Now it’s run)
Every doorway weighs a ton
(So I choose to run)
Exit strategy
(Now it’s run)
[Refrain]
Run!
(Into the setting sun)
Run!
(Until your days are done)
Run!
(Run, run, run)
[Bridge – Breakdown, Half-Time, Echo Vocals]
No direction, just escape
Every step a different shape
Not a plan but not defeat
Just refusing to repeat
If I stop, I face it all
If I move, I never fall
Somewhere in the endless race
I might finally find my place
[Build – Rising Synth + Drums]
Faster now, don’t lose the thread
Leave the past where it has bled
Every mile strips away
What I couldn’t face to stay
[Final Chorus – Full, Intense]
Exit strategy
(I had none)
Exit strategy
(Now it’s run)
All the damage overrun
(Still I choose to run)
Exit strategy
(Now it’s run)
[Final Refrain – Layered, Chanting]
Run!
(Into the setting sun)
Run!
(Until your days are done)
Run!
(Run, run, run)
Run!
(No more holding on)
Run!
(Until the night is gone)
[Outro – Beat Drops, Soft Synth Fade]
Run…
Still running…
[Silence]
