lyrics

Running in the race called life.
(You better get going start strong.)
You've got to keep your head up to survive.
(Where did I go wrong?)
Half the time I can't remember what keeps me moving at all.
I've been at it for too long I am sick of this world.

I'm beginning to feel faceless and dejected.
No matter how many times I try to break free of myself.
Just can't shake these insecurities
And paranoia with everyone I meet.

I won't last much longer,
Because I won't live forever.
This can't be won
Life is much more than a game to play

I'm just trying to chase that high,
Of happiness and stability.
It's like I'm always two steps behind.
These feelings are fleeting.
God what's the meaning of spirit inside flesh.
I know time won't attest.

Everything he said was true,
About this world apart from you.
