Screams

Original

You look helpless in the photograph.

Never really liked the feeling when I'm looking back. But I see it now, I should've done more.

I was busy being giddy like a Labrador.

Chasing anything, running my mouth. Closing my eyes and blocking out sounds.

It kinda scares me, come to think of it. I'll make sense through the lens that I'm stuck with.

I've been running from the sound of my heartbeat, heartbeat.

I've been running from the sound of my own two feet under me.

I wanna break the glass, reach inside the frame.

Pick you up and take you far away from all the pain. I tried to bite my lip. I tried to fight regret.

I don't know if it will go or I will conquer it.

What were you hiding for, locked behind the door? Kinda hard to tell because my memory's so poor.

I know I let you down, yeah, and I confess. I've come knocking now, looking for forgiveness.

I've been running from the sound of my heartbeat, heartbeat.

I've been running from the sound of my own two feet under me.

I try to leave my past at the front door.

It never made anything better.

And every last thought I tried to ignore piles up like unread letters.

I've been running from the sound of my heartbeat, heartbeat.

I've been running from the sound of my own two feet under me.

I've been running from the sound of my heartbeat, heartbeat.

I've been running from the sound. Now the only thing I hear is the screams.
