Run, Sadie, Run

Walking home alone, city hums my fear

Streetlights blink like they disappear

Someone says my name, voice stretched thin

Creeps through my ribs, under my skin

Is it the devil? Thought hits fast

Hands grab hard, pull me off the path

Brick breath alley, the world goes numb

I wanna scream, but my body won't come

Run, Sadie, run, don't look back now

City's got teeth, it'll show you how

Run, Sadie, run, hold your breath tight

Every shadow feels alive tonight

Run, Sadie, run, no one hears you pray

Walking home alone, just get away

Not the devil, just one of his hands

Sweat-soaked breath, cheap confidence

Then a blur, a choke, a sudden drop

His grip is gone, his body stops

I spin at the sound, Converse on stone

Sweatpants, dark blue hoodie, V stands lone

He says "Run," like it's life or death

I don't move, I forget how to step

Run, Sadie, run, now I understand

You weren't runnin' from him, you were runnin' from the plan

Run, Sadie, run, this place knows your name

It keeps what it takes, then calls it fate

Run, Sadie, run, home ain't where you go

Walking home alone... nowhere to go

"You need to go home. Now. It's not safe for you here"

But I don't have a home

"Run, Sadie"
