Start out running and you may never stop Cut to the bone to unspool the plot That road’s littered with well-meaning hearts Dismantle the whole just to count the parts Shouldn’t have to be said but you’ll say it a lot The hurt doesn’t end when the fighting stops Tried it on for the size, thought it fit like a glove Don’t throw it away Don’t spend all your love Never mind “it won’t break” It can’t stay Just throw away all your life and leave If for a second it bleeds But in a minute it heals To wash a lifetime away Then you know what you need To know how it feels To wash a lifetime away (Don’t waste your love on it) It’s never too late to Make things right To shrug off the darkness Step into the light
2.
Here we are and it’s really on fire Chopped it up and we’re really on fire It’s hard to know why anyone stays Add it all up then throw it away Gotcha on a runaround Gotcha like a photograph Slipping away Needed time to find new love Needed a sign to bring us near Now we can run and find ourselves Now we can run and disappear
3.
Hold On 04:21
Fold it in an unread book Close your eyes and never look The day will come when this has passed The day will come cuz nothing lasts Forgiven sins, forgotten pasts Darker woods, this winding path The night will come encircle you Until there’s nothing you can do Carve your name and wave goodbye Set sail for stars and blackened skies A dark so deep it strangles you And so you quake ‘til nothing moves (I don’t want to hold on)
4.
Keep Running 04:46
You’ve been racing your whole life Finding your days blinking away, like flashes of street lights Finding your way amidst the decay of this place after midnight (And you feel it) The tunnel’s closing in It’s teeth are touching skin What would you do to make it all stop? Don’t you wish you could blacken the moon? (I know I do) That high white vanishing fog Doesn’t it call to you, too? You carved your name, hoped it would last Spent most of your days wishing away all of those things that were once past Spent most of your days wishing the rains would make the rivers flow fast Keep running Keep running never look back I know it’s hard but the darkness can’t catch you if you never see it coming Doesn’t it call to you too?
5.
Hurt No More 04:20
It’s a wonder and you wonder if you’re still safe Some things just can’t be bent straight They fall to pieces when you try And so you held on, hoping holding was the right thing Scared it’s written all on your face And all the places that you hide Hardly seems the season, but you sold your love Can’t explain the reasons but they added up It can’t hurt no more It can’t hurt no more And so you wonder while you wait To see the pieces be replaced If you’ll ever be the same If you’ll ever pick the right star in the right sky And so you wonder while you wait And so you wonder while you wait
6.
How could we have known That we should’ve held on? That every word was right That we believed was wrong? Carefully, carefully Fall apart together Carefully, carefully Gotta do better Gotta do better, love God we knew better, love

In Phases 03:19
Are we sheltered in the high grass? Are we safer in numbers? (Can’t promise) Are we waiting for the light pass? Are we still in our slumbers? (Can’t promise) If it’s coming in phases it’s coming a lot Like waves crashing shores Just carving the rock Better late than after things had all been set aside Tied a flag and sat there, deep in sand and rising tides How’d you run the road into the darkness?
