Outrunning. Lyrics by Ryan Jesse

RJ1*

2023

[Verse 1]
There's a bible by my bed
But these demons never let me turn the page
It's Marlboro lights in the dark these days
Try to ease my soul to rest
With the smoke inside my chest
Walls that never change
With no window kinda pain

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where it stops
Show me where it ends
I don't need an angel
I just need a friend
The bottle flowing holds them back
But they won't stop, won't stop coming

[Chorus]
I might not make it out alive
Being strangled by my vice
How am I locked inside
But still outrunning
I might not make it through the night
Tangled up in my own mind
How am I locked inside
But still outrunning

[Verse 2]
There's a call that I should make
'Cause I'm bound here 'bout to break
White lies turn to lines
While all my fears internalize

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me how to stop
Wake me when it's done
Seeing my reflection down the barrel of a gun
Roll them bills and blow them back
'Cause they won't stop, won't stop coming

[Chorus]
I might not make it out alive
Being strangled by my vice
How am I locked inside
But still outrunning
I might not make it through the night
Tangled up in my own mind
How am I locked inside
But still outrunning

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where it stops
Show me where it ends
I don't need an angel
I just need a friend
The bottle flowing holds them back
But they won't stop, won't stop coming

[Chorus]
I might not make it out alive
Being strangled by my vice
How am I locked inside
But still outrunning
I might not make it through the night
Tangled up in my own mind
How am I locked inside
But still outrunning
Woah, woah
