Last Light Running

[INTRO — SPOKEN / LOW] Yeah Last light on the road Rain on the glass Whole past in the rear-view If I leave tonight I’m not leaving empty [VERSE 1] I came from the places where the cold gets personal Where love turns quiet and the pain feels surgical Where boys grow sharp from a life too terminal And hope gets buried under habits external I’ve seen trust get sold for a short-term feeling Seen good hearts break while the world keeps dealing Seen silence speak when the truth needs healing Now I write with the weight of the cracks in the ceiling I had nights where I spoke to the dark like a brother No one came through, had to mother my mother Had to pull myself out from the mess and the gutter Had to learn real fast that the pain don’t stutter Still I stand with a chest full of thunder Still I run when the world pulls under Still got scars but they don’t make me wonder I made peace with the storm, now I move like hunger [PRE-HOOK — BUILD] And I don’t need saving I need one more night Where the drums hit heavy And the wrong feels right If the road keeps breaking I’ll still walk through I lost who I was But I found what’s true [HOOK] When the last light fades And the streets turn cold I’ll be running through the dark With a heart of gold I gave pain to the beat Gave blood to the road If I fall, let the bassline Carry my soul When the last light fades Don’t wait for me I was built from the wreckage Of what I used to be Let the drums hit loud Let the night turn black If I’m gone by dawn I ain’t coming back the same [DROP — DNB] Last light running Bassline coming Heart still beating Drums keep drumming Last light running No more hiding If the world goes dark Then I start rising [VERSE 2] I’ve had fake smiles cut like blades in the hallway Had friends turn smoke when I needed them all day Had dreams go quiet in the grip of a bad phase Still kept fire in the back of my rib cage I don’t talk much, I just let the track bleed Let the kick drum speak for the things that I can’t leave Let the snare crack back when the memories grab me Let the bassline growl like the truth in a backstreet I was half gone, half mad, half made of pressure Heart in pieces but the rhythm held it better Took every letter that I never got to send her Burned it in the booth, turned ash into treasure Now the night knows me by name when I enter Cold wind talks but I don’t let it centre I’ve got ghosts in the back but they’re not my mentors They can ride, but they don’t get the lever [REPEAT PRE-HOOK] [REPEAT HOOK] [BRIDGE — HALF-TIME / CINEMATIC] Slow it down Let the rain fall harder Let the strings rise up Like a ghost from the harbour No crown on my head No peace in my hands Just a map full of scars And a heart full of plans I don’t hate the dark I just learned its shape I don’t fear the past I just know its face One breath in One last stare Then the drums come back And I’m already there [FINAL DROP — BIGGER] Last light running Bassline coming Heart still beating Drums keep drumming Last light running No more hiding If the world goes dark Then I start rising [FINAL VERSE / OUTRO BARS] I’m not clean, I’m not calm, I’m not finished Still got rage but the fear got diminished Still got wounds but the shame got evicted Still got truth in the bars when I spit it I don’t need them to clap when I make it I don’t need fake love, I’ll break it I don’t need a clean road, I’ll take it If the night gives pain, I’ll reshape it [FINAL HOOK — REPEAT / BIGGER] [OUTRO — SPOKEN] Last light on the road Rain on the glass But I’m still moving No soft ending No clean goodbye Just drums in the dark And me still alive
