Run Before I Break

You only get one warning.

But yet I gave you the warning.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

There was a moment when the connection broke,

Every kind word you'd promised, you simply unspoke.

I wasn't heavy, but you decided to drop the weight,

Walked past the falling, sealed my tragic fate.

You built a fence and called it self-defense,

Used my desperation to feel your own pretense.

You just slammed the door with a desperate sound,

And left all the chaos right there on the ground.

You always said it wasn't your fight to lose,

You picked the easy path, you got to choose.

The promise of your helping hand was always just a lie,

You thought you were free, but there's nowhere left to hide.

Don't you dare look surprised when the reckoning arrives,

Look at me now, and tell me that you tried.

You put on a smile while my world went black.

You stood in the distance, never watching your back.

You called it survival, I'm calling it the waste.

You wanted the wreckage, you knew it wasn't fair.

You better run before I break!

I told you what this world would take,

It's time that you confess your mistake!

Go ahead, look away, it's a mistake.

You think you're immune because you kept your hands clean,

You thought you were safe when you hid from the scene.

But the silence you sold is the damage you'll pay,

You'll carry the weight of what you turned from today.

You talk about karma like it's some kind of myth,

Now it's standing right here, demanding you deal with it.

Every excuse you whispered is a promise you broke,

And the fire you ignored is about to choke.

You put on a smile while my world went black.

You stood in the distance, never watching your back.

You called it survival, I'm calling it the waste.

You wanted the wreckage, you knew it wasn't fair.

You better run before I break!

I told you what this world would take,

It's time that you confess your mistake!

Go ahead, look away, it's a mistake.

Remember that feeling when you just didn't care?

The freedom you felt when you left me right there?

That feeling is coming, it's scratching your door,

The same dead silence you taught me before.

You'll call out my name, but the number's unlisted,

You'll search for the strength, but your body resisted.

You wanted to survive? Well, look what you've found—

You're alone in the dark, and you can't hear a sound.

I told you what this world would take!

You better run!

(Vocal screams over the beat.)

You'll never outrun the mistake!

You better run!

...You knew it wasn't fair.
