Yeah, but do you think it matters what people think?
I don't bother caring about what people think

(Yeah) Running 'round the city
Running through my thoughts
Crawling in the deep end
Finding all we've lost
Holding on so fleeting
Falling in the dark
Blocks holding up the ceiling
Blue lights far below
Blue lights far below
Blue lights far—

Just poured my head and my mask in
You see the light, you're the darkness
Light up the city, I left the bedside on
Still, darkness giving my light wings
We opposite sides of the same thing
Blue, white, red and it's waving
Ta-ta-ta-ta-take till it hits right
All turns white, then it's back to black
Can't keep all these thoughts in head
Made me think twice, I can't forget
Made me think twice, oh, wipe the sweat
It's all ahead
Influence slips off my open mind
The waterfall, puddle at my feet, keep walking
The fading frame to the coffee clubbing, meet and greets
Work, old shadows are tall
Man lost his life, his boy lost more
Scar to the dome, foot to the floor
In this life ain't shit to wait for
I could have sworn I seen him before
You from 'round here? You sure? Are you sure?
Zoom out a moment through heaven and more
Tell that kid run till he can't no more
I ain't looked back for 10 years, that's us
Fuck their wall all made of glass
Keep going forward, outrun the past
Past your moment, past your chance
Odds stacked against, my voice stretch far
X mark the spot, rip it apart
This is England, we can't see Jack
What you saying? You think you're all—

Running 'round the city
Running through my thoughts
Crawling in the deep end
Finding all we've lost
Holding on so fleeting
Falling in the dark
Blocks holding up the ceiling
Blue lights far below
Blue lights far below
Blue lights far—

Yo, I saw the breakthrough before I heard it (Yeah)
Hell surrounds these churches
Poverty preys, it's lurking
Mothers pray for the youngest, cry for the oldest
The moment's gone, try hold it
But there ain't no mercy
Life moves on, the rent's 850
Run for the train, why the fuck it leave early?
Have to order this cab back to Burley
My boy said he's short, I spotted him 30
Mum's calling, I'll call you in 30
Shit, I hope that the test came back fine
Rain taps on the side of the cab
Driver keeps making eye contact
Yo, just drop me at the lay
Hold that change
It's pissing it down now
This feeling again
Watch the panic set in
Sweaty palms, caught in a daze
I can't explain, ain't felt this in months
Phone going off in my pocket like a siren
Almost at the flat, where my keys? Can't find them
Tight jaw, feeling it tighten
Don't look down boy, boy, keep climbing
Four walls, deep black and they're rising
Devil whispers reminders of everything you've been hiding or just can't face
Move past faces, running still sideways
Took the stairs, can't find the breaks
Imagine they saw me like this
Third time I feel the keys in my pocket, must've missed before
Hand up to the door, shaking more
Open it, slam it, slowly drop to the—

Running 'round the city
Running through my thoughts
Crawling in the deep end
Finding all we've lost
Holding on so fleeting
Falling in the dark
Blocks holding up the ceiling
Blue lights far below
Blue lights far below
Blue lights far—

I'm fine
Yeah, it was a good day, it's good
