[Intro]
Yeah...
Too many footsteps in one room
One mouth, several truths
[Verse 1]
I pace from the kitchen to the bedroom door
Argue with a man I ain't ever seen before
He wears my face but he don't blink like me
Keeps a list of every name that I should leave
Says, "Don't trust nobody, lock the chain twice"
Then he smiles when I reach for the lights
I answer out loud, then I answer again
Can't tell where I start, can't tell where he ends
[Pre-Chorus]
Every thought got a second voice
Every silence makes a louder noise
Hands on the wheel, but the road ain't mine
Something in the back keeps changing the signs
[Chorus]
Who's walking circles in my head?
Who's counting every word I said?
Voices pull, voices shove
Fighting for the space I call my blood
Don't trust nobody, that's what they say
But which one of us should I obey?
I keep talking to myself all night
Trying to win a war with the same mind
[Verse 2]
Mirror on the wall got a crack down the grin
I see one man standing, hear three walking in
One wants peace, one wants smoke, one wants the keys
One says, "Cut the cord, bring the whole room to its knees"
I write my name down just to prove I'm here
Read it back slow, but the letters disappear
Phone face down, still the room knows my name
Every locked door got a voice in the frame
[Pre-Chorus]
Every thought got a second voice
Every silence makes a louder noise
Hands on the wheel, but the road ain't mine
Something in the back keeps changing the signs
[Chorus]
Who's walking circles in my head?
Who's counting every word I said?
Voices pull, voices shove
Fighting for the space I call my blood
Don't trust nobody, that's what they say
But which one of us should I obey?
I keep talking to myself all night
Trying to win a war with the same mind
[Bridge]
Back up, back up, give me room to breathe
One voice says run, one voice says never leave
I draw a line across the floor in chalk
Then every version of me steps across
No judge, no witness, no clean escape
Just a hundred locked doors and a borrowed face
If I shout, they shout, if I sleep, they wait
If I lose control, they call it fate
[Final Chorus]
Who's walking circles in my head?
Who's counting every word I said?
Voices pull, voices shove
Fighting for the space I call my blood
Don't trust nobody, that's what they say
But I won't hand my name away
Still talking to myself all night
Till one voice fades beneath the fight
[Outro]
One room
One face
Too many footsteps
Still awake
