Running In Place

I go in circles like we’ve never heard,

Always the same thing, different date and time.

Walk past faces they begin to blur

Instead I’ve spent too many nights inside.

And every time that I go out there’s laughter and big crowds.

But at home it’s too quiet and cold in the silence.

Why am I always running in place?

Remind myself the things that I shouldn’t have said.

When I close my eyes I find

Another place that I can ’t hide.

And the darkness in my mind isn ’t quiet

And I lose myself just trying to fight it

When I close my eyes.

Always listen, but I’ve never heard.

Nod my head, but never give the time.

Bitter lesson, man, I should’ve learned.

Do my best but always fall behind

And every time that I go out there’s laughter and big crowds and smiles around a room.

But at home it’s too quiet and cold in the silence.

Why am I always running in place?

Remind myself the things that I shouldn’t have said.

When I close my eyes I’ll find Another place that I can ’t hide. And the darkness in my mind isn ’t quiet And I lose myself just trying to fight it When I close my eyes
