[Verse 1]
Cold mud on my claws
Black bark
Fresh scars
I taste your fear
Bleeding on the fallen leaves
Breath burns in my throat
I count each stumble
Every broken twig
Writes your name in the dirt
[Chorus]
Run
Little heartbeat
Run
Moon cuts paths in your blood
I know every turn you take
Every prayer you choke on
I find you just the same
Bones in a circle of red
The story never changes
The ending’s always death
[Verse 2]
I see your shadow twitch
Hands raw
Torn open
You drag your hope
Like chains through the thicket
Your scent—sharp
Electric
Painted on the midnight air
I’m closer than your shadow
My hunger at your hair
[Chorus]
Run
Little heartbeat
Run
Moon cuts paths in your blood
I know every turn you take
Every prayer you choke on
I find you just the same
Bones in a circle of red
The story never changes
The ending’s always death
[Bridge]
You trip
You crawl
You scream my name
Teeth in your shoulder
You go limp
The same
Eyes roll white
Flesh peels
Breath fades
I carve my vow
In your cooling veins
[Chorus]
Run
Little heartbeat
Run
Moon cuts paths in your blood
I know every turn you take
Every prayer you choke on
I find you just the same
Bones in a circle of red
The story never changes
The ending’s always death
