Always running through the dream
That seldom breaks for mourners
If I slow down I’ll get caught
So I’ll keep runnin’
Old scratch has been askin’ for me
He’s got a score to settle
not privy to his designs
I’m Always a half step ahead

Chorus:
Hold fast ‘til I make it back
And I swear I’ll break your fall
I’ll watch over everyone
So you can rest your tired conscience

Ever closer surrounding
A shadow crosses my map
It has more names than we know
It just keeps comin’
A forever stalk through lifetimes
It knows me far better than
The hopes and dreams forgotten
1,2,3,4,5 we must change

Chorus:
Hold fast ‘til I make it back
And I swear I’ll break your fall
I’ll watch over everyone
So you can rest your tired conscience

When the chase ends will I know
This debtor’s obligation?
What’s that breathin’ down my neck?
What am I learning?
If I turn ‘round and stand my ground
Will I meet my very end
If I stay still will it reveal
We’ve always been one and the same

Chorus:
Hold fast ‘til I make it back
And I swear I’ll break your fall
I’ll watch over everyone
So you can rest your tired conscience

Outro:
Running away to know, running away I chose
I’m still here, my heart’s still beating
Running away to know, fight another day and grow
I’m still here and my heart still leads me
