Run Lyrics by Elliot Root

The Uncanny Valley

2021

[Verse 1]
Hold your hands above the fire
Feel your lungs fill up with smoke
Hot air burning up inside you
Ashes building up in your throat

[Refrain]
And you run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
(Run through the woods)
Faster and faster you float
And you run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
(Run through the woods)
You can't outrun a ghost

[Pre Chorus]
And when they tried to take all the youth you hold
Remember all the things you were told when you were younger
And everything had color now its dark and it's cold

[Chorus]
And you run through the woods
Remember what they told you
Run through the woods
Remember where you're going
Run through the woods
Hold on to what you know
Run through the woods
Run through the woods

[Verse 2]
Everybody's getting anxious
Maybe you're losing your cool
And you hold the fire
And you hold the fire
You decide what to do

[Refrain]
And you run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
(Run through the woods)
Faster and faster you float
And you run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
(Run through the woods)
You can't outrun a ghost

[Pre-Chorus]
And when they tried to take all the youth you hold
Remember all the things you were told when you were younger
And everything had color now its dark and it's cold

[Chorus]
And you run through the woods
Remember what they told you
Run through the woods
Remember where you're going
Run through the woods
Hold on to what you know
Run through the woods
Run through the woods

[Refrain]
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods

[Pre-Chorus]
And when they tried to take all the youth you hold
Remember all the things you were told when you were younger
And everything had color now its dark and it's cold

[Chorus]
And you run through the woods
Remember what they told you
Run through the woods
Remember where you're going
Run through the woods
Hold on to what you know
Run through the woods
Run through the woods

[Refrain]
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
Run through the woods
