[Verse 1] Everybody say "find your lane" I’ve been stuck in the merge, can’t change Blink on, blink off, still the same Whole life parked in the passing lane Clock hands creep like they scared of me Wake up, same face, wrong memory Shadows on the wall switch identity I don’t know which one of us I’ma be I scroll through people who know who they are I’m lost in the glow of a handheld star Time drips quiet in the back of my skull Small talk loud, inner voice dull [Chorus] I ain’t got a lane, just lines in my head Horror on loop like the living dead Time slips gentle, right out my veins Soft little thief while it terrorizes my brain Can’t find my road, can’t read these signs Every turn here looks like mine Time slips gentle, right out my veins Soft little thief while it terrorizes my brain (yeah) [Verse 2] Every mirror like, "Who that now?" Different script, same played-out crowd I rehearse courage in a cracked-up glass Then flinch at the ghost walking past Night creeps in on the midday train Wide awake body, half-asleep brain Laugh tracks run under all my thoughts Jokes on me, I’m the one that’s caught Plans on paper turn to ash in my hand Calendar pages just sink in the sand Everybody speeding in a straight, clear line I’m stuck at the light, still rewinding my mind [Chorus] I ain’t got a lane, just lines in my head Horror on loop like the living dead Time slips gentle, right out my veins Soft little thief while it terrorizes my brain Can’t find my road, can’t read these signs Every turn here looks like mine Time slips gentle, right out my veins Soft little thief while it terrorizes my brain (oh) [Verse 3] Got dreams in a box that I never unseal Scared they gon’ bite, scared they too real So I pace in a room made of "maybe" and "later" Lights flicker out, then come back even stranger I hear footsteps follow every choice I dodge Monsters made from every job I lost Every "what if" sharpening teeth in the dark Chewing through the edges of my heart Second hand circling a drain in my chest Hourglass whisper, "You just like the rest" If time is a river that moves like mist I’m knee-deep in it and still don’t exist [Bridge] [Beat drops to half-time, reverb blooms] If I scream in the void, do I echo or fade? If I step in the road, do I drive or get played? I been tracing the cracks in the ceiling for years Counting each one like a prayer for my fears Maybe my lane is this lost, scared run Maybe my path is the shadow, not the sun But if time keeps slipping like it don’t know my name I’ma carve it in the pavement, even shaking, even drained (yeah) [Chorus] I ain’t got a lane, just lines in my head Horror on loop like the living dead Time slips gentle, right out my veins Soft little thief while it terrorizes my brain Can’t find my road, can’t read these signs Every turn here looks like mine Time slips gentle, right out my veins Soft little thief while it terrorizes my brain (terrorizes my brain)
