[Verse 1]
Six times I heard that crack
Six shadows split the wall
I still taste iron in my mouth
When the night begins to crawl
My coat got holes like prayers
My hands still shake in June
I made it home with nothing left
But a name I won’t lose
[Pre-Chorus]
But when I shut my eyes
It comes back clean and mean
A quieter kind of pistol
Living underneath my dreams
[Chorus]
My mind is chasing me
My mind is chasing me
It won’t let me be
It won’t let me be
(I’m still here)
My mind is chasing me
[Verse 2]
I hear boots in empty halls
Though nobody’s there
I wake up biting down on fear
Like blood in humid air
The mirror knows my face
But not the boy I was
He got left out in the dark
With the smoke and all that blood
[Pre-Chorus]
And every night it loads
What the daylight couldn’t keep
A ghost with my own heartbeat
Stepping through the seams of sleep
[Chorus]
My mind is chasing me
My mind is chasing me
It won’t let me be
It won’t let me be
(I’m still here)
My mind is chasing me
[Bridge]
If I run, it follows
If I pray, it stays
Six holes in the memory
But they still know my name
So I sing through the fever
Till the fear loosens its grip
One breath at a time
I make it through the dip
[Final Chorus]
My mind is chasing me
My mind is chasing me
It won’t let me be
It won’t let me be
(Still here)
My mind is chasing me
My mind is chasing me
Until the dawn lets go
Until the dawn lets go
