I woke up in a field
With a shiver in my bones
I ran all through the night
The stars above brightly shone
There was a cabin with a candlelit room
I stood and watched the shadows move
(But I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on,
I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on)-x2
You’ve been livin’ for so long
In my dreams and in my head
I cannot make myself forget
All the words that you ever said
There were times I wanted to give in
My legs ached and the air grew thin
(But I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on,
I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on)-x2
I knew the dogs were gettin’ near
They smelled the blood and they smelled the fear
The forest rose up around my feet
I fell in the night and heard my heartbeat
(But I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on,
I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on)-x2
{Breakdown, then slow build}
Oh, why did I ever run?
My life there was fulfilled
They changed my dirty sheets
And fed me endless pills
I had position-I had dignity
But I needed you-I needed to be free
(But I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on,
I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on)-x2
And so each night it begins anew
I wake up in a sweat thinkin’ of you
I can feel their eyes, but they let me be
Alone in the night with my heartbeat
(But I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on,
I gotta keep movin’, movin’ on)-x4
