Run to Nowhere

[Verse 1]
I don’t know when I left
Just remember the noise stopping
The engine filled the space
Where I didn’t want to think

I told myself I needed air
Told myself I’d feel different
But the same weight followed me
Like it always does

[Verse 2]
The road keeps going without reason
I follow it without one too
No plan, no place in mind
Just moving so I don’t sit still

I thought distance meant relief
I thought motion counted as change
But every thought I tried to lose
Found me anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Stopping scares me more than running
So I keep going
Even when it doesn’t help

[Chorus]
I run to nowhere
I don’t find anything
Nothing waits for me out here
Nothing lets me leave
I run to nowhere
Every time I try
I don’t know where I’m going
I just don’t want to stay inside

[Verse 3]
The dark doesn’t feel dramatic
It just feels empty
Like a room with the lights off
That I’ve been in before

No answers come with speed
No clarity arrives
I keep hoping something clicks
But it never does

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought I’d feel different by now
I thought something would break
Instead it just stays the same

[Chorus]
I run to nowhere
I don’t find anything
Nothing waits for me out here
Nothing lets me leave
I run to nowhere
Every time I try
I don’t know where I’m going
I just don’t want to stay inside

[Bridge]
Maybe this isn’t escape
Maybe it’s delay
Maybe I’m just afraid
Of standing still

I don’t face it
I don’t fix it
I just keep it moving
So I don’t feel it all at once

[Final Chorus / Outro]
I run to nowhere
And I stay lost
Every mile feels the same
No matter what it costs
I run to nowhere
And I don’t arrive
I don’t know where I’m going
I just keep the engine alive
