Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
They say you die alone
And I know it's true
Since I died a thousand times over the last few days
Now I search the silence
For a place to reanimate, scattered charge
I'm looking for a sign that helps me ease my troubled mind
[Chorus]
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my heart stops beating anymore
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my eyes start bleeding
I can't see no more
Lying naked on the floor
[Verse 2]
I lost my heart somewhere at the river
Wondering if it sticks together
If I find thе right way to wander
I lost my heart along the rivеr
Wonder if it's leaving slivers
I should try and pick it up some day
[Chorus]
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my heart stops beating anymore
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my eyes start bleeding
I can't see no more
Lying naked on the floor
[Outro]
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my heart stops beating anymore
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my eyes start bleeding anymore
'Til my heart stops beating
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my eyes start bleeding anymore
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my heart stops beating anymore
I keep on running, running, running
'Til my eyes start bleeding
I can't run no more
Lying naked on the floor
