【Verse 1】
Wake up, same light, same ceiling
Smile like I’m fine, no feeling
Coffee goes cold while I stare
At a list of dreams I don’t dare
【Pre-Chorus】
I try to care, I try to try
But every step is a practiced lie
I laugh too loud, I talk too fast
Like maybe I’ll outrun the past
【Chorus】
I’m running in place
Feet on fire, heart gone numb
Every day a different shape
Of everything I’m running from
I smile in the mirror
But I can’t see my face
Stuck inside the silence
Just running in place
【Verse 2】
I write down goals I’ll never chase
Cross them out, no time, no space
I keep a light on in my chest
But it flickers more with every breath
【Chorus】
I’m running in place
Counting lines along the wall
Trying to fake a purpose
So no one sees me fall
I scream inside a whisper
But leave no trace
Still smiling like I mean it
Still running in place
Wake up, same light, same ceiling
Smile like I’m fine, no feeling
Coffee goes cold while I stare
At a list of dreams I don’t dare
【Pre-Chorus】
I try to care, I try to try
But every step is a practiced lie
I laugh too loud, I talk too fast
Like maybe I’ll outrun the past
【Chorus】
I’m running in place
Feet on fire, heart gone numb
Every day a different shape
Of everything I’m running from
I smile in the mirror
But I can’t see my face
Stuck inside the silence
Just running in place
【Verse 2】
I write down goals I’ll never chase
Cross them out, no time, no space
I keep a light on in my chest
But it flickers more with every breath
【Chorus】
I’m running in place
Counting lines along the wall
Trying to fake a purpose
So no one sees me fall
I scream inside a whisper
But leave no trace
Still smiling like I mean it
Still running in place
