[Verse 1] Thousands of voices in my head, They tell me what to do, what path to tread. A thousand tasks are calling out to me, So much to do, no time to breathe. No chance to close my eyes, can’t slow down, Where’s the space for me in this town? [Chorus] And I’m running in a circle, chasing my own shade, I don’t know what I’m running for, but I’m afraid To stop — I fear the world will fade away, Just keep on running, day by day. [Verse 2] I feel a cold and heavy breath Upon my neck — it fuels my dread. Places, faces, fun — they pass me by, Faster, faster — I don't know why. I’m scared I’ll miss it all, I’m out of time, This endless race, this constant climb. [Chorus] And I’m running in a circle, chasing my own shade, I don’t know what I’m running for, but I’m afraid To stop — I fear the world will fade away, Just keep on running, day by day. [Bridge] I can’t feel a thing, but still I rise, Back to the run with empty eyes — The familiar race of a hollow man, Running again, again and again. [Chorus] And I’m running in a circle, chasing my own shade, I don’t know what I’m running for, but I’m afraid To stop — I fear the world will fade away, Just keep on running, day by day.
