Movin’ in Circles Verse 1 I drew a map out of midnight With a matchstick and a lie, Every road said keep on running But they all bent back in time. I lit cigarettes for courage, Watched the smoke rehearse goodbye, Every ghost I ever buried Still knows how to call my line. My shadow sleeps beside me Like a lover made of doubt, Every promise tastes like thunder Right before the lights go out. Pre-Chorus And the moon keeps pulling tides Through the marrow of my bones, Every step I take to freedom Just echoes back to home. Chorus I keep movin’ in circles — Running miles just to fall where I began. Every road is a mirror, Every exit just another sleight of hand. I keep movin’ in circles, Like a record stuck between the truth and lies, Spinning love into vertigo — Round and round in the carousel of my mind. I keep movin’, movin’, movin’… But the world won’t move with me. I keep movin’ in circles — And the circle looks like me. Verse 2 There’s a halo in the gutter Where the saints all slipped and fell, I’ve been dancing with the devil Just to hear a different bell. Every heartbeat’s a metronome For the chaos in my chest, Every prayer becomes a question When the silence answers yes. I tried outrunning gravity In a sky made out of doubt, But the past is just a hallway With the exits boarded out. Pre-Chorus And the stars are crooked needles Sewing patterns in the dark, Every scar becomes a compass Pointing back to where you are. Chorus I keep movin’ in circles — Running miles just to fall where I began. Every road is a mirror, Every exit just another sleight of hand. I keep movin’ in circles, Like a record stuck between the truth and lies, Spinning love into vertigo — Round and round in the carousel of my mind. I keep movin’, movin’, movin’… But the world won’t move with me. I keep movin’ in circles — And the circle looks like me. Bridge Maybe I’m the maze I wander, Maybe I’m the locked front door, Maybe all the storms I’m running from Are thunder in my core. Maybe freedom isn’t forward, Maybe healing isn’t straight, Maybe every broken orbit Is just gravity and fate. Final Chorus (explosive) I keep movin’ in circles — Through the ashes of the girl I used to be, Every fire I escape from Burns another ring around me. I keep movin’ in circles, Like a halo cracked and falling from the sky, Every revolution whispers — You can run but you’re the reason why. I keep movin’, movin’, movin’… But the past still moves with me. I keep movin’ in circles — And the circle looks like me. Outro Round and round the same old skyline, Same old echoes in the street… I thought I was chasing freedom — Turns out freedom’s chasing me.
