(Verse 1) Streetlights blur, a hazy glow, a siren wails, a rising fear My heart's a drum, a frantic beat, a chase begins, the end is near I turn the corner, ducking low, a shadow in the urban night The heavy boots upon the pavement echo in the fading light (Chorus) Run, run, run, don't look behind, the city's maze, a twisted game Run, run, run, leave them all behind, a whisper of a forgotten name The flashing lights, a crimson stain, a silent prayer, a desperate plea Just a little more, just a little faster, break away, and finally be free (Verse 2) My lungs are burning, every breath a ragged, desperate, gasping sound I leap a fence, I scramble up, and land on unfamiliar ground The bark of a dog, a distant shout, they're closing in, I feel their heat The world contracts to this one moment, the rhythm of my pounding feet (Chorus) Run, run, run, don't look behind, the city's maze, a twisted game Run, run, run, leave them all behind, a whisper of a forgotten name The flashing lights, a crimson stain, a silent prayer, a desperate plea Just a little more, just a little faster, break away, and finally be free (Bridge) The alley's dark, a dead-end street, a final stand, a final breath I close my eyes and brace myself, for something akin to death But wait, a door, ajar, unlocked, a chance, a hope, a crazy whim I slip inside and lock it shut, and sink into the sudden dim (Chorus) Run, run, run, don't look behind, the city's maze, a twisted game Run, run, run, leave them all behind, a whisper of a forgotten name The flashing lights, a crimson stain, a silent prayer, a desperate plea Just a little more, just a little faster, break away, and finally be free
