[Verse]
A bell rings loud like a ticking clock
I learned my ABCs but forgot how to talk
Chasing numbers chasing lines chasing time
I blinked once and now I’m out of my prime
[Prechorus]
What’s the point of running
When the race never ends
We spend our days just burning
And call it making amends
[Chorus]
Half a life sleeping half a life numb
Quarter in a classroom waiting for the drum
Work ‘til we’re hollow break ‘til we’re done
What’s left in the shadow when the bright lights run
[Verse 2]
The moon’s my boss the sun’s my thief
Stole my mornings and sold my grief
A paycheck’s a leash dressed up as a crown
Climbing ladders just to tumble down
[Chorus]
Half a life sleeping half a life numb
Quarter in a classroom waiting for the drum
Work ‘til we’re hollow break ‘til we’re done
What’s left in the shadow when the bright lights run
[Bridge]
I wanna dream wide awake but my mind’s a maze
Wanna scream but the echoes just fade
Tell me who do we live for when we live this way
Tell me why do we fight for a cage
