Can’t Run From Your Love

You drag a chain across my name

Every scar

You make it ring

I lock the doors inside my head

You kick them in like nothing

I spit out blame like broken teeth

You take the blood

You call it sweet

I built a wall of rust and bone

You plant a flag in every stone

I can’t run from your love

Every road just circles back

All my rage

All my ruin

You wear it like a crown of black

I can scream

I can cut you off

But you don’t ever give up

I can bleed

I can break

I can’t run from your love (your love)

You haunt the corners of my sleep

Boots on glass

A steady beat

You rip the posters off my past

Laugh at every faded mask

I raise my voice

You raise the stakes

Tear down the myths I tried to make

You crush my pride beneath your thumb

And still you say

“we’re not done”

I can’t run from your love

Every road just circles back

All my rage

All my ruin

You wear it like a crown of black

I can scream

I can cut you off

But you don’t ever give up

I can bleed

I can break

I can’t run from your love (your love)

You drag me through the fire

Till all my lies burn out

You stand inside the silence

And never tap me out

I’m swinging at the shadows

You’re standing in the light

You say

“I’ll be here waiting

When you’re done with this fight”

I can’t run from your love

Every road just circles back

All my rage

All my ruin

You wear it like a crown of black

I can scream

I can cut you off

But you don’t ever give up

I can bleed

I can break

I can’t run from your love (your love, your love)
