[Verse] Lost under fading streetlights so dim Hollow winds scream their impromptu hymn Silent shadows curl around my skin The night is thick where hope’s worn thin [Chorus] I’m running fast but I stand still The echoes bite they always will A cardboard kingdom dreams collide It’s fear and tears I just can’t hide [Verse 2] Cold pavement whispers lullabies cold A song of cracks where stories are told Heartbeats blending with the subway roar My soul is tethered but seeks the floor [Chorus] I’m running fast but I stand still The echoes bite they always will A cardboard kingdom dreams collide It’s fear and tears I just can’t hide [Bridge] Time bends twisting chasing my screams Brittle ghosts of yesterday’s dreams A lost crescendo stuck on repeat The drum and bass of my defeat [Chorus] I’m running fast but I stand still The echoes bite they always will A cardboard kingdom dreams collide It’s fear and tears I just can’t hide
