punishment

⸻

Clock keeps spinning slow

But I don’t ever grow

Tired eyes, hollow face

Still running in the same place

Memories on replay

Voices won’t fade away

I tell myself I’m fine

But I’m losing track of time

’Cause every day

It’s the same old thing

Take another breath

Feels like a punishment

Trying to break free

But I’m caged in me

Every day

It’s the same old thing

Maybe one day I’ll feel the sun

And not just fake it for someone

Maybe sleep will come for me

And I’ll dream of what I used to be

But until then

It’s the same old thing

Take another breath

Feels like a punishment

I keep holding on

To the hope it ends

But every day

It starts again
