Stuck/Alive
I ran and ran and ran and ran
Circling around like a full speed fan,
I'm going to head out here real soon,
Somewhere I can sleep till afternoon,
Somewhere I can make it back home before five,
Coz lately, life's been feeling stuck and naive,
I miss the very aroma I didn't like before,
Now the days are goofy, and my eyes are sore,
I stay awake even when I feel sleepy at nine,
I'd be lying to all em, screaming that I'm just fine,
I'd be running circles, but I still couldn't catch myself, Maybe it's just the right time, to ask for help.
I dig deeper on the thoughts that are useless,
The cleaner the beard I keep, my head inside is still a mess,
I still crave love, even after four heartbreaks,
I just can't give up like this when there's so much at stake, I'm fighting harder each day, to catch up sunrise at 4,
I'd be treating myself a machine, but let's not anymore.
It's been harder on hobbies, everything is just work,
I've been made to fly on the roads, and given sudden jerks,
I want to move back to the city, the one that made me walk,
I'd be fine by myself, I thought, when there'll be no one to talk,
Oh, now it flashes what have I done,
What was meant to happen just for fun,
I've been cruel to me, no doubt,
Who's going to be there, when I make a shout,
More distress, more tragedy will be on its way,
So let's just try this city one more time, let's just stay,
I can't let myself go that down and deep,
Because I still have to find my home, before I can sleep.
