[Verse 1] She set the tempo, she drew the line Showed them all she could outrun the time They got used to the blur, got used to the pace Never saw the panic hiding on her face Now every shadow is a critical eye A collective sigh when she lets something slide There’s always a reason for someone to blame Like she’s breaking a promise just by playing the game [Verse 2] She’s falling behind on the track she made Watching the colors of the finish line fade She built the engine, she spun the wheels Now she can't explain how heavy it feels Because they expect the version that never got tired The ghost of the girl that they once admired But the water is rising, the banks are too steep And the promises she made are getting too deep [Chorus] And she’s caught in the rapids she created herself Reaching for a branch or a hand or some help But they’re watching from the shore like it’s all just a show Confused why the girl who could swim let it go Drowning in the high bar she put in the air Looking for a rescue that isn't even there Yeah, she’s losing her grip on the life that she led While the anger of the crowd echoes loud in her head [Bridge] [Screamed] [Intense] I built the current, but I can't break the fall! You expect me to run when I’m starting to crawl! There’s a mistake in every single thing that I do! I was trying to prove it to myself, not to you! [Desperate] I’m going under and the current is fast! How long do you expect a phantom to last?! [Chorus] [Heavy Drums] [Explosive Vocals] And she’s caught in the rapids she created herself Reaching for a branch or a hand or some help But they’re watching from the shore like it’s all just a show Confused why the girl who could swim let it go Drowning in the high bar she put in the air Looking for a rescue that isn't even there Yeah, she’s losing her grip on the life that she led While the anger of the crowd echoes loud in her head [Outro] [Melancholic] [Fading] Can't keep up... Underneath the wave... Nothing right... Yeah, she's faded now..
