Running on Empty

Count

Count to ten

Is it normal to dissociate 

From every  thought inside my brain

I'll ground

Ground my breath

Is it normal for my highs and lows

To bleed me dry and crack my bones

The walls cave in

Head starts to spin

I’m frozen

Don’t know what’s real

Oh

I’m so exhausted

Lost and wondering if 

I’m spinning my wheels

It’s hard to say

I’m not okay

I’m trying to bandage the broken 

Pieces of all my emotions

Slam the brakes

Like everyday 

I’ll go a hundred to zero 

I don’t know how to be the hero for me

When I’m running on empty

Close

Close my eyes

Is it normal for my happy place 

To be somewhere I can’t escape

My dark

Darker days

Am I crazy or just in my head 

Cause God I think I’m spiraling

It’s hard to say

I’m not okay

I’m trying to bandage the broken 

Pieces of all my emotions

Slam the brakes

Like everyday 

I’ll go a hundred to zero 

I don’t know how to be the hero for me

When I’m running on empty

Oh oh oh oh oh

When I’m running and running and running 

Oh oh oh oh oh

When I’m running and running and running

Walls cave in

Head starts to spin

I'm screaming

Screaming for help

Oh

If I don’t break my cycle

Will I lose

Lose myself

It’s hard to say

I’m not okay

I’m trying to bandage the broken 

Pieces of all my emotions

Slam the brakes

Like everyday 

I’ll go a hundred to zero 

I don’t know how to be the hero for me

When I’m running on empty
