[Verse 1]
Black shoes on the yellow line
Gun metal in a velvet glove
Names and faces blur behind me
I was made
But who do I love
Red streak in a dead-end town
Billboards burning in my eyes
Everyone says pick a side
Pick a side
I just press down and drive
[Chorus]
I’m running with the shadows
Shadows
Faster than the fear can bite
If I’m wrong
I don’t wanna know
I was born in the blackout
Blackout
Looking for a scrap of light
If it’s fate
Then I’ll take control
[Verse 2]
Memories like broken glass
Cut through every quiet thought
Was I weapon
Was I promise
All I know is I won’t be bought
Cold moon on the overpass
Wind howls like an old regret
You say “stand and fight for something”
I say “watch how close I get”
[Chorus]
I’m running with the shadows
Shadows
Faster than the fear can bite
If I’m wrong
I don’t wanna know
I was born in the blackout
Blackout
Looking for a scrap of light
If it’s fate
Then I’ll take control
[Bridge]
I don’t need your halo
I don’t need your crown
I’ll carve my name
In the underside of this town
If every sin’s a scar
Then let the scars all show (oh)
’Cause in the dark I finally
Finally feel my own
[Chorus]
I’m running with the shadows
Shadows
Faster than the fear can bite
If I’m wrong
I don’t wanna know
I was born in the blackout
Blackout
Looking for a scrap of light
If it’s fate
Then I’ll take control
[Outro]
Red streak in the rearview
Fading
But I won’t slow down
(Shadow in the sun)
I’m the doubt they couldn’t drown
