[Verse] I’m trying every morning Chasing something I can’t name Every road becomes unbearable Every sunrise looks the same I keep pushing through the silence Keep pretending I’m alright But the faster that I’m moving The less I feel alive [Pre-Chorus] I’m giving everything I’ve got Still ending where I start How long can I keep going on? [Chorus] I’m running, running, running But nothing’s moving for me I’m doing, doing, doing But nothing’s changing for me I’m stuck, stuck, stuck In a circle of treadmills, can’t you see? Oh please, please Oh please, rescue me Round and round, I lose control Round and round, it takes its toll I’m running but I’m going nowhere Captured in a circle of treadmills [Verse] I built walls around me One small step at a time Every promise turns to pressure Even strangers’ failures feel like mine I keep reaching for tomorrow While today slips through my hands And the more I try to fix it The less I understand [Pre-Chorus] There’s a voice beneath the noise Saying something has to change But even if I try to break through I’m afraid to leave the cage [Chorus] My feet are getting heavier, heavier, heavier And the air is getting thin I keep chasing, chasing, chasing distant answers To a question buried deep within I’m worn, worn, worn But I still can’t make myself break free Oh please, please Is there a way out of me? Round the edge, the shadows grow Every step nearer brings me further away From the place I need so much to know Engulfed by a circle of treadmills [Verse] Then I hear my own heartbeat Through the thunder in my head It reminds me I am living Not just doing what I’m told Perhaps all these endless circles Were a warning, not a fate Maybe I can change my way I don’t need permission There will be no rescue if I only wait [Bridge] So let the wheels keep turning Let them spin without me I’d rather face the silence Than be trapped in what I used to be No more counting every failure No more measuring the miles If I’m going to fall tonight I’ll fall while I’m trying to fly So this time I won’t turn around When I feel the ground beneath me If I feel the chains give way I’ll try, try, try [Final-Chorus] I’m breathing, breathing, breathing And I finally feel the air I was searching for a doorway That was buried inside me, and was always there I’m done, done, done With the life that kept me running endlessly No more pleading, no more waiting I’m breaking free, free, free [Outro] The wheels can turn without me The circles can remain I don’t have to keep on running Now that I know I don’t have to stay the same Keep on turning... Keep on turning... I’m walking, walking The world lies wide in front of me A view I’ve waited so long to see (Keep on turning...) (Keep on turning...) I’m walking, walking The world lies wide in front of me A view I’ve waited so long to see...
