[Verse 1] The ceiling turns in slow decay The fan blade cuts the stagnant grey 3 A.M., the radio is dead White noise filling up my head The streetlights bleed into the room Inviting shadows from the tomb Where no one sleeps, no one finds peace The dancing shadows never cease... [Pre-Chorus] The clock has stopped, time is frozen ice I feel the pulse, a cold device The focus fades, the vision breaks Walking on wire, for goodness sakes [Chorus] I’m running fast but standing still! Gasping for air, a hollow thrill! A sweet despair, a dark obsession A silent scream in wrong direction Release me now! Release me now! [Verse 2] You call my name, the line is cold The city screams, stories untold Grey towers rise, eyes of glass I am a ghost as minutes pass Should I remain? Should I go? Balancing panic in the snow [Bridge] The night is long... The day won't come... I am the hostage... Of the beating drum. [Chorus] I’m running fast but standing still! Gasping for air, a hollow thrill! A sweet despair, a dark obsession A silent scream in wrong direction Release me now! (Release me now!) [Outro] Blinking lights... (No escape) Closed signs... (No escape) Short circuit.
