When is the win
(Verse 1)
Sunrise finds me on the floor, counting all the miles before
The finish line I swear I see, just past the boundary of me.
I poured the sweat, I paid the cost, for everything I thought I lost.
But every inch I think I gain, the prize just laughs and slips again.
(Chorus)
Oh, this unobtainable prize, it's a shimmer in my eyes.
A promise whispered on the air, a victory that's never there.
I push and pull with noteworthy might, I stay the course through darkest night.
But the gold is always one step back, on this never-ending track.
It's so fing* unobtainable.
(Verse 2)
They say "just work, you'll reach the top," they say "one day the striving stops."
But the ladder's made of smoke and glass, every foothold seems to pass.
I check the map, I re-read the signs, I follow all the perfect lines.
I see the others cross the tape, while my own future takes no shape.
(Chorus)
Oh, this unobtainable prize, it's a shimmer in my eyes.
A promise whispered on the air, a victory that's never there.
I push and pull with noteworthy might, I stay the course through darkest night.
But the gold is always one step back, on this never-ending track.
It's so fing* unobtainable.
(Bridge)
My hands are raw, my spirit's thinned, a runner fighting 'gainst the wind.
Is it the race, or is it me? Why can't I break this gravity?
I give it everything I own, still standing here, utterly alone.
The closer that I think I get, the harder that I gotta sweat.
(Guitar Solo - Frustrated, driving, and intense)
(Chorus)
Oh, this unobtainable prize, it's a shimmer in my eyes.
A promise whispered on the air, a victory that's never there.
I push and pull with noteworthy might, I stay the course through darkest night.
But the gold is always one step back, on this never-ending track.
It's so fing* unobtainable.
(Outro)
Forever out of reach... (Echo)
Unobtainable...
And still I run... (Fade out with a tired, persistent drum beat)
