The world knows my name

I’ve been sleeping where the silence breaks

On the edge of a nameless place

Got a heart that hums like a power line

Every thought just killing time

I don’t stay where the truth gets loud

I don’t look when I’m not allowed

So I keep my boots on borrowed ground

Let the miles wear my reasons down

⸻

Pre-Chorus

I talk to the wind like it’s an old friend

Ask it why I feel the way I am

It don’t answer me in words I know

Just points me down another road

⸻

Chorus

If I stop, I’ll hear it call

Every fear I never named at all

So I walk till the stars go blind

Let the dark read what’s left of mine

I don’t hide, I just keep moving on

From the things I swear I’m done outrunning

I ain’t lost, I just don’t stay

The world knows my name

⸻

Verse 2

Every town feels like I’ve been here before

Same tired ghosts at a different door

They ask me what I’m running from

I say “nothing,” but I don’t sound sure

Got a name carved deep in the bark

Don’t remember when it left that mark

Maybe I did it in the dark

Trying to prove I had a heart

⸻

Chorus

If I stop, I’ll hear it call…

The world knows my name

⸻

Bridge

Tell me, river, am I too late?

Tell me, sky, does it all erase?

If I lay my head on the ground tonight

Will the earth tell me I’m alright?

I ain’t looking for a holy sign

Just a reason I don’t feel divine

⸻

Final Chorus (Lift + Resolution)

If I stop, I’ll hear it call

Every truth I let slip and fall

So I walk till my voice wears thin

Let the dust decide where I’ve been

I don’t know where I’ll end up staying

I just know I can’t outrun everything

If I ever learn to face the flame

It’s because the world knows my name

⸻

Outro

I keep walking…

But the world knows my name.
