Don't Run

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Midnight rain

Nine names carved on a blade tonight

Five brothers lost to the jagged edge of his chrome mask

Now I'm standing where the lawn turned red and frozen

I'm the only one left to breathe this winter air

Pre-Chorus

He is coming for me

He is hunting for me

He is waiting for me

Chorus

Plastic mask under the yellow moon

Don't run

Face the ghost in the blue garden

No hiding tonight

Don't run

Verse 2

Four sisters gone before they could even scream for help

Metal teeth bit the wood while the windows shattered in

Blood on the porch where we used to sit and talk

Now my knuckles turn white on a heavy rusted pipe

I won't let him take the last of us today

Pre-Chorus

He is coming for me

He is hunting for me

He is waiting for me

Chorus

Plastic mask under the yellow moon

Don't run

Face the ghost in the blue garden

No hiding tonight

Don't run

Drop

Don't run

No hiding

Bridge

Footsteps on the gravel

Steam rising from his breath

Steel reflects the porch lamp

I see his silhouette move

I see his shoulders twitch

I see the finish line

Chorus

Plastic mask under the yellow moon

Don't run

Face the ghost in the blue garden

No hiding tonight

Don't run

Drop

Don't run

Don't run

Verse 3

I sprint toward the shadow by the garage door

He raises the machete with a dead man's grip

We meet in the middle of the driveway dirt

Two shapes colliding as the screen goes black

Last breath

Last swing

Last sight
