Running from my head

Intro (soft, distant vocals)

Yeah…
I been fightin’ my thoughts again
Tryna outrun my sins
But they faster than I am

⸻

Hook (melodic, emotional — repeat 2x)

I been runnin’ from my head, yeah
Demons talkin’ when I’m layin’ in my bed, yeah
I pour my heart inside these words instead, yeah
If I don’t let it out, I might be dead, yeah

I don’t trust love, I seen how it ends, yeah
Broken mirrors every time I make amends, yeah
I smile outside but I’m hurt within
Tryna heal my soul, where do I begin?

⸻

Verse 1 (melodic rap, introspective)

I been numb since the pain found me
Heart cold, even drugs couldn’t save me
Late nights with the stars all around me
Talkin’ to God like, “Please don’t break me”

Everybody sayin’ that I changed up
They don’t see the weight that I wake up
I loved too hard, got my heart crushed
Now I flinch every time someone say “trust”

I got scars where my heart at
Memories I wish I could delete
I been losin’ friends, losin’ sleep
Tryna make sense of what’s left of me

⸻

Pre-Chorus (build-up, airy harmonies)

I been drownin’ in my thoughts lately
Tryna breathe but my mind won’t save me
If I fall, would you still stay with me?
Or would you leave when it get shaky?

⸻

Hook (repeat, stronger delivery)

I been runnin’ from my head, yeah
Demons talkin’ when I’m layin’ in my bed, yeah
I pour my heart inside these words instead, yeah
If I don’t let it out, I might be dead, yeah

I don’t trust love, I seen how it ends, yeah
Broken mirrors every time I make amends, yeah
I smile outside but I’m hurt within
Tryna heal my soul, where do I begin?

⸻

Verse 2 (darker, more raw)

I been poppin’ pain just to feel okay
Smile for the crowd but I’m not okay
Heart so heavy, feel it in my chest
Tryna outrun death but I’m runnin’ in place

They say time heals, but it lied to me
Every scar still remindin’ me
That the ones I loved switched sides on me
Now I guard my heart like it’s robbery

I talk to ghosts in the dark at night
Wish I could turn back time just once
If love’s a drug, I been overdosed
Still chasin’ highs just to feel some hope

⸻

Bridge (half-time, emotional breakdown)

If I disappear, would you notice me?
If I tell the truth, would you close on me?
I been scream-singin’ all this pain
Hopin’ someone hear what’s inside of me

⸻

Final Hook / Outro (strip beat down, emotional)

I been runnin’ from my head, yeah
Tryna make peace with the things I said, yeah
If I don’t make it, just know I tried
Put my soul in the music every time

Yeah…
Every time…
