[Voice Memo] "I don’t even know who I am anymore. Every time I think I’m getting closer, it’s like… I’m running in circles. Maybe I’m just chasing myself…" Mirror on the wall, I’m a stranger’s reflection Tracing the cracks in a broken connection Smiling in a crowd, but I feel so alone Living in a house that will never be home I keep painting over the scars in my chest Writing love letters I’ll never send Fighting with shadows that won’t go away Every night they whisper my name I’m caught in the silence, afraid of the sound Every step I take just pulls me down How do you escape what’s under your skin? The war I keep losing is the one within I’m chasing myself through a maze of doubt Every door I open just shuts me out The harder I scream, the less I’m heard Drowning in a flood of my own words I’m chasing myself on an endless track Every time I break, I can’t turn back The faster I run, the deeper I fall I’m chasing myself, and I don’t know me at all There’s a ghost in my room where the silence grows Writing my fears in the dust on the window I’m haunted by versions of who I’ve been Prisoner of choices I can’t rescind I reach for a hand that was never there Breathe in the weight of the empty air Every reflection becomes a disguise I’m losing the truth behind my own eyes I’m caught in the silence, afraid of the sound Every step I take just pulls me down How do you escape what’s under your skin? The war I keep losing is the one within I’m chasing myself through a maze of doubt Every door I open just shuts me out The harder I scream, the less I’m heard Drowning in a flood of my own words I’m chasing myself on an endless track Every time I break, I can’t turn back The faster I run, the deeper I fall I’m chasing myself, and I don’t know me at all [softer, confessional] Maybe the person I’m searching for Isn’t the one I was before If breaking apart is how I heal Then maybe this pain is something real [echoed, layered] (Chasing, chasing, chasing…) I keep on running, but I can’t let go (Searching, searching, searching…) I keep on fighting what I’ll never know (Myself, myself, myself...) [bigger, soaring] I’m chasing myself through a maze of doubt Every door I open just shuts me out The harder I scream, the less I’m heard Drowning in a flood of my own words I’m chasing myself on an endless track Every time I break, I can’t turn back The faster I run, the deeper I fall I’m chasing myself— But I don’t know myself at all [voice memo, fading echo] "Maybe I’m just chasing myself…"
