Outrunning Karma

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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

rock, High-energy modern rock with male vocals; crunchy double-tracked guitars over driving bass and tight live drums, verses ride a tense, palm-muted groove, chorus explodes with open chords and shout-along gang vocals, bridge drops to half-time with a soaring lead line before a final full-throttle outro
