Verse 1 I turned the volume up to drown it out Let the speakers do the screaming now If it’s loud enough, I don’t have to think If I don’t think, I don’t have to sink I chase noise like it’s oxygen Anything to stop what’s in my head But silence waits when the engine dies Like it’s patient, like it knows I’ll try Pre-Chorus I keep pretending I’m in control Like chaos isn’t my favorite role I call it freedom, I call it choice But it’s just fear with a louder voice Chorus You can’t outrun your head No matter how fast you go It’s riding shotgun, whispering Everything you already know You can’t outrun your head It follows you to bed I tried to leave it miles behind It just moved in instead Verse 2 I scream along to songs I hate Just to feel something resonate My throat hurts, but I don’t care Pain’s easier than being aware I thought distraction was a cure Thought movement meant I was secure But every quiet moment proves I’m stuck with thoughts I can’t remove Pre-Chorus I fill my days with constant sound Like emptiness can’t break through But the louder I try to drown it out The clearer it cuts through Chorus You can’t outrun your head It knows all your turns It waits in the spaces Where the static burns You can’t outrun your head It never forgets Every lie you tell yourself It quietly corrects Bridge (drop to bass + drums, then explode) If I stop moving, I might feel If I feel, this gets too real So I keep my foot down, eyes ahead Running scared of my own head (shouted) I’M NOT BROKEN—I’M JUST AVOIDING (full band crashes back in) Breakdown Chorus (half-time, crushing) You can’t outrun your head It’s carved into your spine You can blame the roads, the nights, the noise But this one’s mine You can’t outrun your head No exit sign instead I’ve crossed every line I know Still stuck inside my head Outro (repeating, layered vocals) It’s still here It’s still loud It’s still me Under the sound It’s still here It’s still me (feedback squeals, drums cut hard)
