'Runner' is the first song we wrote for our new record. It began as a guitar riff Patrick recorded while we were living off-grid, anchored in a fisherman's cove called San Juanico. The only instruments we had on board were an acoustic guitar and a drum sequencer, but the limitations seemed to work in our favor. Until that point, we had no clear vision for our writing.
The demo we recorded that day outlined the sound of our future, the first contours of our fifth full-lengthed album, called 'Swimmer,'

Lyrics:
Runner, I know you’re living with a wild hunger Let me make the most of us
You know you’ll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust
Living in the same old sin
I feel it blowing in the wind
Like manna in the desert, oh
Gonna take a miracle
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can’t go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I’ll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat
Runner, you’re just a bottomless pit of hunger
Lead me to the promised land
Your manna is only a famine
Wandering the desert oh
Gonna take a miracle
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can’t go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I’ll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat
Let me make the most of us
You know you’ll never be a runner
And leave me in a cloud of dust
Leveled in a burning heat
Red Sea devouring me
Flowing over my stoned-soul
Gonna take a miracle
Every little bead of sweat
Feel it running down my neck
When you look at me like that
Feeling like we can’t go back
If I become a pillar of salt
I’ll know that it was all my fault
Every little bead of sweat
Every little bead of sweat
