Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Heavy breath on my neck But the room is empty again Hear my name in the hallway From a voice I never let in I change streets Change shoes Burn the maps Lose the phone Still those same cold footsteps Walk me all the way home [Chorus] I keep on running but it's always right behind Shadows learning every corner of my mind I turn the key Lock the door Close the blinds But the past keeps hunting The past keeps hunting me this time (oh, it keeps hunting me) [Verse 2] I moved towns last winter Left my coat on the neighbor's chair Thought I'd outrun that shiver But I found it waiting there Every mirror Same eyes Same bruise Different frame I can change my whole life But I can't change my name [Chorus] I keep on running but it's always right behind Shadows learning every corner of my mind I turn the key Lock the door Close the blinds But the past keeps hunting The past keeps hunting me this time (yeah, it keeps hunting me) [Bridge] How do you fight What lives in your chest I cross that line Still dragged back to the rest [beat drops to kick and bass Vocal almost spoken] If I stand If I fall If I crawl It's the same Every road Every door Leads me back to that flame [Chorus] I keep on running but it's always right behind Shadows learning every corner of my mind I turn the key Lock the door Close the blinds But the past keeps hunting The past keeps hunting me this time (oh, it keeps hunting me) The past keeps hunting The past keeps hunting me this time
