Outrunning Karma

Blood on your brand-new shoes

Smiling with sharpened teeth

You think the wreck in your rearview mirror

Is buried under concrete

You trade your guilt for gasoline

Floor it till the needle screams

You’re outrunning karma

On a road that just runs out

Every lie you lit on fire

Is a flare they’ll see

No doubt

You can push that pedal harder

But the bill still comes around

You’re outrunning karma

Till the engine lets you down

You ghost the ones who knew you first

Change your name like changing shirts

Laughing loud at every warning

Drown it in the tires’ churn

You swear the storm’s stuck far behind

But I can feel it in the sky

You’re outrunning karma

On a road that just runs out

Every lie you lit on fire

Is a flare they’ll see

No doubt

You can push that pedal harder

But the bill still comes around

You’re outrunning karma

Till the engine lets you down

Headlights cut through the dark

But they don’t erase your past (oh no)

All the ghosts in your rearview glass

Are gaining fast

Gaining fast

You’re outrunning karma

On a road that just runs out

Every lie you lit on fire

Is a flare they’ll see

No doubt

You can push that pedal harder

But the truth still hunts you down

You’re outrunning karma

Hear it closing

Hear the sound
