[Intro]
Sirens smear the sky
Blue teeth in the dark
Boot soles on wet concrete
Radios hiss like sparks

[Verse 1]
Case file on the dashboard
Coffee cold
Hands shake
City breathing through the windshield
Every shadow could break
Finger on the flashlight
Name burned in my brain
Streetlamp halos on the puddles
Tracing tire tracks and stains

[Chorus]
We run the hunt in the halogen
Through alleys that remember blood
Your name is carved in every bulletin
I feel your pulse in the flood
We run the hunt in the halogen
Till every doorway gives you up
I taste your fear on the oxygen
I will not turn
I will not stop

[Verse 2]
You slip between the houses
A ghost in borrowed clothes
Knuckles raw from climbing fences
Breath cutting
Thin and close
My boots drum out your rhythm
I track the panic in your stride
Hand brushing cold steel at my hip
Law like a fire inside

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
How many lines
Between justice and rage
How many faces
Reflected in the gauge
[clean vocals
Smooth guitars]
If I see the child in your eyes
When you hit the asphalt hard
Will I still be the hammer
Or just a man in a scarred old car?

[Chorus]
