Running from the echoes

[Verse 1] Clock on the wall says a quarter to four I've been staring at the ceiling, pacing the floor Legs say run, but I'm stuck in the chair Brain on a treadmill going nowhere Phone lights up, I let it ring Every little sound is a loud machine I know I should eat, I know I should sleep But I'm knee-deep in a thought I can't repeat [Chorus] I'm running through my head, but I don't move an inch Frozen at the starting line, flinching at the pinch Every second's crawling while it's sprinting out of sight I'm running through my head all night I'm running through my head all night [Verse 2] Told my friend I'm fine, told my boss I'm good Waved from the window like a kid in the woods Took a shower sitting down, let the water run cold Counted all the tiles till the story got old There's a version of me that could get up and go She's waving from the other side of slow-mo I keep reaching for her hand through the glass But the clock keeps moving and I don't pass [Chorus] I'm running through my head, but I don't move an inch Frozen at the starting line, flinching at the pinch Every second's crawling while it's sprinting out of sight I'm running through my head all night I'm running through my head all night [Bridge] Maybe down is just a direction Maybe still is just a phase Maybe if I stop the struggling I'll float instead of sink for days Let the water hold my shoulders Let the ceiling be the sky I don't have to win the waiting I just have to stay alive [Verse 3] So I put one foot on the carpet Then the other, and I stand It's not a triumph, it's a Tuesday It's a trembling little hand I don't know if I'm outrunning it Or if I'm learning how to breathe But the clock says five past four now And I'm still here, still me [Chorus] I'm running through my head, but I don't move an inch Frozen at the starting line, flinching at the pinch Every second's crawling while it's sprinting out of sight I'm running through my head all night I'm running through my head all night [Outro] Running through my head Running through my head Till the running slows And the quiet shows Running through my head Running through my head I'm still here I'm still here
