Excellent

**"OUTRUN"**

*[Verse 1]*

Chrome horizon stretching past where the eye gives out

Bleeding pink and blue into a sky with no ceiling, no walls, no doubt

Speedometer lying, says I'm already through

Into some wider country I never mapped, never knew

Rearview's a rumor swallowed by the size of the dark

Every mile marker's a ghost dissolving into the vast

Windows down, engine's the only thing that's honest

Ain't chasing the sunset, I'm dissolving into the promise

Of a horizon that keeps retreating the closer I get

Like the whole world's breathing out and I haven't left yet

*[Pre-Chorus]*

Guardrails blur into rivers, rivers blur into fields

Fields blur into something bigger than anything real

Foot down, faith in the engine, faith in the endless line

Outrunning what I can't mention into something less mine

*[Chorus]*

I'm outrunning the light, outrunning the dark

Redline heartbeat lost in a sky full of spark

Nowhere's the exit, nowhere's the start

The whole night is open and it's swallowing me apart

Outrun, outrun, into the vast

Outrun, outrun, past the last

*[Verse 2]*

Palm trees flicker like a lighter running dry

Against a horizon so wide it forgets to say goodbye

Every billboard's smiling with a stranger's eye

Shrinking in the mirror till it's just a speck of sky

I'm a shadow in the headlamps of a passing dream

Getting smaller and smaller against everything I've seen

Trading my reflection for the neon and the steam

Watching the whole coastline turn into a seam

Odometer's a liar, clock up on the dash

Don't know where I'm going but the distance feels like ash

Scattered on a wind that never once looks back

Just gasoline and gravity and an open, endless track

*[Bridge]*

(soft, half-spoken, spread out and slow)

Slow down — slow down — I —

never learned — how to stop —

this — this doesn't end —

does it —

here — is everywhere —

here—

*[Chorus]*

I'm outrunning the light, outrunning the dark

Redline heartbeat lost in a sky full of spark

Nowhere's the exit, nowhere's the start

The whole night is open and it's swallowing me apart

*[Outro]*

(fading, wide)

Outrun... outrun... into the vast

Outrun... outrun... past the last

Outrun...
