[Verse 1] Alarm bites early. I drag the day on. Hands full of ash. Eyes on the wall. I can see it. Right there, clear. The shape of my future keeps cutting through fear. My boots hit dust. My ribs feel thin. I’m still standing up, but I’m worn within. [Pre-Chorus] I keep reaching past the ache. I keep moving for moving’s sake. If I stop now, I might hear all the little cracks coming near. [Chorus] I can see my dreams (I can see my dreams) But I’m too tired to run. I’m a bag of broken bones on the dirt in the sun. I can see my dreams (so close, so close) But my hands won’t hold. I’m a bag of broken bones and my heart feels old. [Verse 2] Coffee gone cold. Phone face down. Another promise falls to the ground. I wore myself like a bad disguise. Smile in the mirror, glass in my eyes. Every gold thing feels out of reach. Like a fruit on a branch too high to keep. And still that picture won’t let me quit, burning through me bit by bit. [Pre-Chorus] I keep reaching past the ache. I keep moving for moving’s sake. If I stop now, I might hear all the little cracks coming near. [Chorus] I can see my dreams (I can see my dreams) But I’m too tired to run. I’m a bag of broken bones on the dirt in the sun. I can see my dreams (so close, so close) But my hands won’t hold. I’m a bag of broken bones and my heart feels old. [Bridge] Don’t tell me to “push.” Don’t tell me to “grind.” I’ve been burning daylight just trying to stay alive. If hope is a ladder, I’m missing a rung. Still I’m looking up when I’m barely hung. [Final Chorus] I can see my dreams (I can see my dreams) But I’m too tired to run. I’m a bag of broken bones on the dirt in the sun. I can see my dreams (so close, so close) And I’m still not done. I’m a bag of broken bones but I’m not the one.
