"Screams" lyrics

You look helpless in the photograph
Never really liked the feeling when I'm looking back
But I see it now, I should have done more
I was busy being giddy like a Labrador
Chasing anything
Running my mouth
Closing my eyes
And blocking out the sounds
It kinda scares me come to think of it
I'll make sense through the lens that I'm stuck with

I've been running from the sound of my heartbeat, heartbeat
I've been running from the sound of my own two feet under me

I wanna break the glass, reach inside the frame
Pick you up and take you far away from all the pain
I tried to bite my lip, I tried to fight regret
I don't know if it'll go or I will conquer it
What were you hiding for locked behind the door?
Kinda hard to tell because my memory's so poor
I know I let you down, yeah and I confess
I've come knocking now looking for forgiveness

I've been running from the sound of my heartbeat, heartbeat
I've been running from the sound of my own two feet under me

I tried to leave my past at the front door
It never made anything better
And every last thought I tried to ignore
Piles up like unread letters

I've been running from the sound of my heartbeat, heartbeat
I've been running from the sound of my own two feet under me
I've been running from the sound of my heartbeat, heartbeat
I've been running from the sound, now the only thing I hear is the screams
