[Verse 1] We hit the fence before the floodlights rose Mud on our boots, smoke in our clothes She hid something under her coat Pulled me close and said [Pause] “JUST RUN!” Dogs barking somewhere past the ridge My side torn open on a rusted bridge She dragged me through the wire with shaking hands Said, “If they catch us now, they’ll bury us where we stand” [Pre-Chorus] Her breath was fire on my broken skin And I knew we were too far in If this is how we die, then fine At least her heartbeat’s pressed to mine [Chorus] We were blood on steel in a freight car Her trembling hands tracing every scar She pressed her forehead hard against my own Said, “If they find us now, we’re never going home” Never going home... The night was shaking like it knew our names Every shadow twitching with the hunters’ aim She swore she’d stay with me no matter how far And kissed me like the world was about to break apart [Intense Electric guitar riff] [Verse 2] Flashlights slicing through the rusted seams Her breath warm, trembling on my skin She whispers, “If we run, we run as one” And I swear I felt the universe crack Blood dripping from the cut on my ribs But her touch is the only thing that stings Outside, they load their guns with our names Inside, she's the calm in the hurricane [Pre-Chorus] Breath shaking, hearts racing Her shadow tangled up in mine If this is the edge, I’m not breaking I’ll cross every line.... [Bridge] Shadows swarmed tight around the yard Weapons drawn steady in the freezing dark Every heartbeat synced with distant guns The night itself bracing for the spark [Chorus] We were blood on steel in a freight car Her trembling hands tracing every scar The world outside was ready to ignite Every shadow twitching, hungry for the fight But we held steady through the rising roar Two fugitives who wouldn’t bow anymore If the city burned, we’d carry every mark Still holding on as the dark tore itself apart Dark tore itself apart...Yeah
