EmberHolow - Keep Running Lyrics

Running away from the shadows,
I don't know why they're always there.
Chasing me through the silence,
Whispers of things I cannot bear.
But the harder I run, the closer they stay,
Telling me I can't escape my own way.

Keep running, you'll find what you're looking for,
The answers lie beyond the door.
Through the darkness, the fight, the storm,
Keep running, you'll find what you're looking for.

I stopped and turned to face the night,
Looked at the shadows and found their light.
They were pieces of me I'd left behind,
The fears, the pain, the parts maligned.
But now I see, they're all my own,
The roots of the man I've finally grown.

Keep running, you'll find what you're looking for,
The truth you hold, the heart restored.
Through the fire, the ache, the war,
Keep running, you'll find what you're looking for.

Running with the shadows, I keep running with myself,
Every step I've taken has taught me to quell
The doubts, the screams, the echoes in my mind.
I'm the man I've been seeking, the one I'll find.

Running from my father, running from my mother,
What have they done? Why did I bother?
But in the end, it's not about them-
The shadows are my past, my start, my stem.

Keep running, you'll find what you're looking for,
Through every crack, through every door.
The night will break, the dawn will soar,
Keep running, you'll find what you're looking for.

Now I'm running with the shadows, not away,
They're a part of me, they're here to stay.
Through the journey, the fear, the pain undone,
I understand now who I am-who I'll become.
