Adapt

It's like I run and I run but don't catch up Because the ground that I'm running on just speeds up The air hits my lungs, my legs adjust But I see the sun start falling, it's not enough I need a brand new way to fix my life Something to change the way I feel inside Cause when the fleeting joys again subside It feels like nothing could ever make this right All my life Like sand castles in the tide Is it better or worse than before? The truth is I'm not sure Do we adapt to all growth and level out? Are we confined within the frame of the range allowed? Thought we could build who we are from the ground up But I see the stars start fading, I've seen enough I need an unknown way to fix my life Something to make me want to stay alive Cause when these looming thoughts again collide It feels like nothing is gonna change my mind Realize what sticks and what's left behind See the joys of your past redefined Now they're ghosts and redrawn lines Always out of our reach As we just keep sinking It's been so long Since it's felt like something wasn't wrong Is this growing up? Or is it something else we've grown out of? Felt like I'd trekked so far But the roots still wrap around my heart With every step behind you in shards It breaks your ego Like a wrecking ball Right through who you are When you look back On your life's accomplishments And they're meaningless It's beautiful
