Verse:
I've been asking all these questions
That led me to honest bitter answers
I've been treading out of pace on this island
With sand beneath my feet
And now they're calloused and worn out
Still can't have the words to figure out
Pre-Chorus:
Why nights feel lonelier in crowded rooms?
My hands are tied, they won't get loose
I guess some things don't work out like they're supposed to
I can't even trust myself anymore
Chorus:
I'm still running in circles, but not staying in one place
The walls in this house won't keep me from getting out of here
I'm still running in circles, I know the clouds will fade away
We worry too much, but we don't worry enough for ourselves
Verse:
That's when I realized that the streets weren't as fucked up as I was in the past
I looked back and saw the kid who got cut up with shattered glass
I still want to be somebody
I still want to be somebody
Bridge:
All eyes around me are stuck to the floor
Mistakes are often made
But they're seeds that help us grow
I can't even trust myself anymore
Outro:
I can't even trust myself with life
(Our story needs a better ending)
