[Intro]
Run until the city blinks
Run until the city blinks

[Verse 1]
Left turn under a red light glow
Blue glass watching from the windows
Wet black street keeps pulling at your feet
Every door knows when you leave

The grid wakes up and says your name
Through the wires in the rain
One wrong move and the whole block sees
So you slip where the dead lights breathe

You don’t run straight
You don’t stay known
You let the signal lose your bones

They drew your face in a perfect line
You bend the map and leave it behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look up
Don’t slow down
Every window wants you now

[Chorus]
Run until the city blinks
Run until the wires miss
Run until the searchlights swing too late

Run until the signal splits
Run until the cameras glitch
Run until they lose you in the rain

Run until the city blinks

[Verse 2]
Back stair, locked gate, rust on your palm
Drone hum low like a broken alarm
North side flickers, west side calls
Your shadow breaks on the mirrored walls

There’s a voice in the pole saying your route is set
But it hasn’t learned how you disappear yet
Past blue screens and electric rain
You move through the city like a cut in the frame

You don’t run loud
You don’t run clean
You move where the cameras can’t agree

They wrote your path in a perfect line
You break it soft and leave it behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look up
Don’t slow down
Every window wants you now

[Chorus]
Run until the city blinks
Run until the wires miss
Run until the searchlights swing too late

Run until the signal splits
Run until the cameras glitch
Run until they lose you in the rain

Run until the city blinks

[Breakdown]
No name in the wire
No face in the glass
One light gets tired
Then the whole block cracks

Signal bends
Searchlight swings
You cut left
The city blinks

No name in the wire
No trace in the rain
The towers reach for you
And miss again

[Final Chorus]
Run until the city blinks
Run until the wires miss
Run until the searchlights swing too late

Run until the signal splits
Run until the cameras glitch
Run until they lose you in the rain

Run until the city blinks
Run until the city blinks

[Outro]
One light out
Two blocks gone
All eyes open
Target gone

[End]
