Hamster Wheel

The daylight,
Has faded,
The night has come,
I’m praying,
and I’m waiting,
‘Till it has gone.

The darkness,
All ‘round me,
Keeps me at home,
I’m staying,
I’m laying,
Here all alone.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother?
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
And start all over again.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother,
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
Just to start all over again.

This bruising,
So confusing,
I don’t feel quite right.
It’s crazy,
What I say,
Just to get through each night.

Do you ever,
Ever wonder,
Why I do what I do?
If you never,
Even better,
I won’t have to lie to you.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother?
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
And start all over again.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother,
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
Just to start all over again.

I’m forever,
Running circles,
On this hamster wheel.
So tired,
So wired,
Can’t tell how I feel.

This life,
Don’t owe me,
But I’m doing ok.
These people,
Don’t own me,
No matter what they say.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother?
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
And start all over again.

You take a step, and another,
You take a breath, why even bother,
Close your eyes, tell your lies,
Just to start all over again.
