Down in the valley, the herd is moving, a slow, wet shiver. They don't think. They just pull. Jaws clicking like loose teeth in a dry mouth. But me? I'm standing still, watching the rot, and I remember. I remember the heat of a hand, the smell of rain on asphalt. Now I'm just cold calcium and a spark that won't go out. They look at me with those hollow, milk-glass eyes, Waiting for the order to tear me apart. But I don't feel the hunger. I feel... guilt. And that's the worst part. [Pre-Chorus] My legs are heavy, dead weight dragging on the pavement, Then, snap. Something rewires the nerve. The atrophy burns away. I'm not shuffling anymore. I'm coiling. Like a spring made of bone. [Chorus] I'm the glitch in the graveyard, the runner in the ruin. A super-zombie with a conscience, a monster with a reason. They want to eat the world, I want to outrun the end. Yeah, I'm the anomaly, the broken, beating friend. Running through the grave, yeah, I'm sprinting through the dead, With a moral compass spinning in a head full of lead. Don't look at me with those empty stares, I'm the only one who knows exactly where we are. And I'm not stopping. [Verse 2] I vault the chain-link, tendon snapping tight, Leaving the groaning chorus in the dust of the night. They stumble, they fall, they drag their guts on the street, A symphony of misery, a slow, ugly beat. But I hear a different rhythm. A heartbeat that isn't there. Thump-thump. It's the sound of a choice I didn't ask to make. To spare the kid hiding behind the rusted car. To turn my back on the feast. God, the temptation is a physical ache, A phantom limb screaming for meat. But I run. Because if I stop, I become them. And I can't be them. Not ever. [Bridge] Is it a curse? To wake up in the dark? To carry the weight of a soul when your heart is a stone? They say the dead should rest. But I'm too awake to sleep. I'm the flaw in the design. The error in the code. A lighthouse made of rot, burning in the void. I don't know if I'm saving anyone. Maybe I'm just running because I'm scared to die again. Yeah, that's it. I'm terrified of the silence. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I'm the glitch in the graveyard, the runner in the ruin. A super-zombie with a conscience, a monster with a reason. They want to eat the world, I want to outrun the end. Yeah, I'm the anomaly, the broken, beating friend. Running through the grave, yeah, I'm sprinting through the dead, With a moral compass spinning in a head full of lead. Don't look at me with those empty stares, I'm the only one who knows exactly where we are. And I'm not stopping. [Outro] Let them shamble. Let them fall. I'm leaving the rot behind. One foot. Then the other. Defining the dead by how I live. The athlete of the end times. Alone. But not lonely. Just... running. Just running.
