Verse 1 The sirens are distant but the panic is near Scripps Poway Parkway is frozen in fear KT came out of the shadows so fast Shattering the peace we thought might finally last A flash of silver, a sudden sharp pain And Scripps is falling like autumn rain The pavement is cold where she takes the hit As the world around her starts to split Pre-Chorus A scream of pure terror tears through the night Anxiety rushes right into the fight Checking for a pulse, checking for breath Refusing to lose this companion to death She’s breathing, she’s alive, but her mind is spinning round A heavy concussion keeps her locked to the ground Chorus Run through the fire, run through the dark Carry the weight of a dying spark Hold onto hope when the night is this long You have to be steady, you have to be strong From the edge of the parkway straight to the door We won't let them take you away anymore Just keep your eyes open, just hold on tight We’re running for your life tonight Verse 2 Scooping her up in a desperate embrace Anxiety runs at a frantic pace The weight in her arms is a heavy demand But she won't let go of her friend's pale hand Adrenaline pumping, pushing past the pain Dodging the shadows and breaking the chain Through the automatic doors, yelling for aid Fighting the mistake that KT just made Pre-Chorus A scream of pure terror tears through the night Anxiety rushes right into the fight Checking for a pulse, checking for breath Refusing to lose this companion to death She’s breathing, she’s alive, but her mind is spinning round A heavy concussion keeps her locked to the ground Chorus Run through the fire, run through the dark Carry the weight of a dying spark Hold onto hope when the night is this long You have to be steady, you have to be strong From the edge of the parkway straight to the door We won't let them take you away anymore Just keep your eyes open, just hold on tight We’re running for your life tonight Bridge Now the white walls of the ICU take over the scene Surrounded by monitors, plastic, and screens They push her away, they tell her to wait Behind the closed doors of an uncertain fate The hands that were carrying Scripts are now shaking Torn between healing and completely breaking Verse 3 Sitting alone in the bright waiting room The silence is heavy, filled up with gloom Staring at the floor, pacing the tile Wishing for a word, or a ghost of a smile Two months ago it was Anxiety in the bed Now it's Scripts with a concussion in her head The roles have flipped in a terrible twist Living in a nightmare that shouldn't exist Pre-Chorus A scream of pure terror tears through the night Anxiety rushes right into the fight Checking for a pulse, checking for breath Refusing to lose this companion to death She’s breathing, she’s alive, but her mind is spinning round A heavy concussion keeps her locked to the ground Chorus Run through the fire, run through the dark Carry the weight of a dying spark Hold onto hope when the night is this long You have to be steady, you have to be strong From the edge of the parkway straight to the door We won't let them take you away anymore Just keep your eyes open, just hold on tight We’re running for your life tonight Outro Please make it through... I’m waiting out here for you... Don't leave me alone in the quiet... Please make it through... The clock keeps ticking... Please wake up soon.
