[Verse 1]
The sky went green by noon
Sirens tore the blocks apart
Seven friends in a busted ride
And a storm with a hungry heart
We hit the junkyard fence
Hands deep in the oil and glass
Grabbed a fan belt, fuel hose, wire
Praying this town don’t last
One more bolt, one more wire
She coughs like she knows our names
Every block got a bent-out sign
Every street a grave of flames
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that growl on the west side?
Feel that pressure in your chest?
If we don’t move right now
We get folded like the rest
[Chorus]
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
Keep the engine alive
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
We don’t die here tonight
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
Say my name and hold tight
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
We don’t die here tonight
[Verse 2]
Mason with the socket wrench
Jules with a tank of gas
Nia found a shattered map
Said the bridge can take us past
I climbed in the dead-light rain
Fixed the chain with blistered hands
You can hear those roofs come off
Like the city’s breaking plans
A tire blew, the frame shook hard
We slammed through mud and ash
Every friend kept one thing on
Hope with a broken latch
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that growl on the east side?
Feel it clawing at the glass?
If we keep this wheel turned right
We might outrun the blast
[Chorus]
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
Keep the engine alive
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
We don’t die here tonight
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
Say my name and hold tight
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
We don’t die here tonight
[Bridge]
The radio screams our warning
But it’s too late for the town
We got one road, one shot, one shot
And the clouds are coming down
So slam the door
And grip that seat
If the world caves in
We still got speed
[Final Chorus]
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
Keep the engine alive
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
We don’t die here tonight
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
Say my name and hold tight
Run from the black wind
Run, run, run
We don’t die here tonight
