Rising, building, falling, falling fast and hitting hard
Know its coming round
Gonna fall on my back
Been so high for so long
And if theres one thing I know
Its that nothing lasts
And I feel so uncomfortable in my skin
This familiar old heaviness is creeping back in
And I know its been a long time coming
But I thought maybe if I just kept running, running, running, running
And im driving myself crazy
I don’t know how to let go
Of these ideas
That hold me and scold me
When I fall out of line
I’m just living day to day
And trying to be kind
And good to myself too
But ive been so high for so long
I know the floor
Has gotta fall through
And I feel so uncomfortable in my skin
This familiar old heaviness is creeping back
And I know it’s been a long time coming
But I thought maybe if I just kept running
Back to the shadows
To looking up on my life from the depths and hating the sight of it
This part I think your gonna wanna close your eyes for this
Don’t even know if I can handle it
And I feel so uncomfortable in my skin
Heaviness my old friend is knocking
And I know ive gotta let him in
Gotta quit my running
Outro:
Give the soul that’s inside of me
A running chance at being free
So if you’ll please excuse me
Just gotta feel it out
