Left Behind

Verse 1

I saw you in my sleep, swerving through my mind,

White knuckles on the wheel, trying to outrun time.

Two phones in your pocket, both ringing at once,

Secrets in the static, every call a loaded gun.

Verse 2

Flashing red lights, but they weren’t for you,

Fire engine tearing down trees just to get through.

Smoke in the air, shadows in the street,

And I could feel the heat crawling up from my feet.

Chorus

You had two grand in cash, folded tight in your fist,

Like you were buying your way out of the abyss.

But somebody’s hunting you, I can taste it in the air,

I’m screaming your name, but you’re not really there.

Verse 3

Then the crash — glass flew like stars in the night,

Metal screaming, everything out of sight.

You crawled from the wreck, but you didn’t look back,

Left me in the dark on that cold, dirt track.

Verse 4

I watched you vanish into the trees,

Running from a shadow only you could see.

I heard footsteps coming, heavy and low,

And I knew they weren’t here to let me go.

Bridge

Sirens sang like they knew your name,

Every note dripping gasoline and flame.

I woke up gasping, your ghost in my bed,

Still hearing the words you never said.

Chorus

Two grand in cash, folded tight in your fist,

Like you were buying your way out of the abyss.

Somebody’s hunting you, and I still smell the smoke,

You’re running from the end, but the end already spoke.

Outro

Two phones, two lies, one long night,

Trees falling, fire eating up the light.

I’m wide awake now, but I still see your face,

And the dream keeps chasing me, in every place.
