[Intro] Oh, evanui, evanui Oh, evanui, evanui Oh, evanui, evanui Oh, evanui, evanui [Verse 1] I was raised on whispers and wonder Every answer they gave me had somewhere to hide And the roots kept growing round me in the city I loved Grey secrets over the spires, my mothers name above [Pre-Chorus] So I count the spires at midnight Wondering if the child I was is still in there So I count the years gone by me Wondering if I ever truly left this place [Chorus] How am I supposed to stop running from this?~ How am I supposed to stop running from this?~ [Verse 2] I left my home for the lantern-light and the carnival Traded the roots for a road that never holds still And the walls kept closing in on the love that I chose Ossir's storms rolled over me, I fell and I rose [Pre-Chorus] So I count the spires at midnight Wondering if the child I was is still in there So I count the years gone by me Wondering if I ever truly left this place [Chorus] How am I supposed to stop running from this?~ How am I supposed to stop running from this?~ [Break] Evanui, evanui Oh, evanui, evanui Oh, evanui, evanui [Bridge] Oh, where do I begin, the roots or the reins? Oh-oh, where do I begin, the roots or the reins? And the walls keep closing in on the girl that I hide I take the whip, I take the wheel, so nothing gets inside [Pre-Chorus] So I count the spires at midnight Wondering if the child I was is still in there So I count the years gone by me Wondering if I ever truly left this place [Final Chorus] How am I supposed to stop running from this?~ How am I supposed to stop running from this?~ [Outro] If I close my eyes Does it almost feel like I could just stay still? Oh-oh Evanui, evanui Oh, evanui, evanui Oh, evanui, evanui Oh, evanui, evanui
