Run Before the Stillness

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

You hear my quiet and you think it's peace

You count my patience like a debt you own

But still water hides a deeper current

And the calmest mouth can break the bone

Pre-Chorus

Don't mistake the softness for surrender

Don't you trust the gentle in my hands

Every kindness has a final border

And you're standing where it ends

Chorus

Run run to wherever you were going

Run before the quiet turns to stone

Run run I am giving you a warning

Run and do not wake the thing below

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Run run run

Oh-oh

Run run run

Verse 2

My silence is more dangerous than my anger

So do not test the patience that I keep

I have no obstacle that holds me backward

But for you I'd be a wolf that will not sleep

Pre-Chorus

Don't you wake the cruelty inside me

Let it stay a stranger in the dark

You don't want to meet the one who rises

When the last of my forgiving leaves a mark

Chorus

Run run to wherever you were going

Run before the quiet turns to stone

Run run I am giving you a warning

Run and do not wake the thing below

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Run run run

Oh-oh

Run run run

Bridge

If my heart should shatter into pieces

Go and run the way you always knew

I will not be stopping

I will not be dropping

I will simply show you who is true

Breakdown

Go go go

Go go go

Chorus

Run run to wherever you were going

Run before the quiet turns to stone

Run run I am giving you a warning

Run and do not wake the thing below

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Run run run

Oh-oh

Run run run
