[Instrumental emotional sad long piano intro] [Verse 1] Dust on the dash, Jackie's old map folded in half Badlands moon on the windshield, bottle sweat in the cup holder Your call came late, a crackle through the scanner Said the city went dead in a place with no names left I’ve got two mags, half a tank, and a busted relay You’ve got that look like you already said goodbye Don’t ask me to slow down, don’t ask me to think twice If we stay here, they’ll strip the chrome right off us [Chorus] Run with me, before we lose everything Before the towers pull the plug and the whole block goes dark Run with me, leave the ash in the rearview I’ll take the long road, you take my hand, keep the engine hot Run with me, before we lose everything Before they tag our names and lock the gates for good If we’re gonna go out, let’s go out moving Run with me [instrumental solo] [Verse 2] The radio's just static, a ghost in the machine Another broken promise, another fading dream They built their walls so high, thought they could keep us in But the cracks are showing now, where the wild things begin We've got one shot, one chance, and the clock is hitting hard Cut through the concrete maze before they box us in for good Don't look back at the rubble, don't let the tail lights fade Every mile we don't lose now is another breath we save [Chorus] Run with me, before we lose everything Before the towers pull the plug and the whole block goes dark Run with me, leave the ash in the rearview I’ll take the long road, you take my hand, keep the engine hot Run with me, before we lose everything Before they tag our names and lock the gates for good If we’re gonna go out, let’s go out moving Run with me [instrumental solo] [Verse 3] Riot ads flicker on the service station screen Some suit in a clean coat selling a safer tomorrow But the people in the queue got blood in their sleeves And a chip in the neck for a debt they can’t swallow I seen your brother’s bike, twisted under the checkpoint lights by the rail Chain still ticking, front tire split open, a spill of sparks on the gravel We don’t get prayers out here, we get static and dust So I punched the route in and never looked back once [Bridge] If the net comes down, let it come down behind us If the walls close in, let them close on the ghosts I’m not asking for forever Just one clean shot past the glow [Chorus] Run with me, before we lose everything Before the towers pull the plug and the whole block goes dark Run with me, leave the ash in the rearview I’ll take the long road, you take my hand, keep the engine hot Run with me, before we lose everything Before they tag our names and lock the gates for good If we’re gonna go out, let’s go out moving Run with me [instrumental solo] [Verse 4] Now the horizon’s all antennas and heat haze Your laugh cuts through the comms like a stolen frequency We can sleep when the sky stops watching us We can breathe when the checkpoint’s just a memory So floor it past the wreckage, past the kiosks and the bloodlines Past the drones, past the tariffs, past the men with the clean hands If the world’s getting small, then let’s make it to the edge With the tires screaming, with the truth in the back seat [Instrumental long ending] [Outro] Run with me Don’t let them name what’s left of us Run with me Before we lose everything [Instrumental long ending] [End]
