[ Featuring Emily Gray ]
I wake up
And join the race
Carve a smile into my face
And stare out of the window on the train.
The blur of blues and greens and greys
It always stays the same,
It always stays the same.
I get up
Put on a tie
Never stop to question why
'Cause if I stop, I'll never start again.
The swarm of suits and dreary days
It always stays the same,
It always stays the same.
Remember when we both were young?
Our innocence shined like the sun
And all the times we danced through city streets
I count them one by one
Over before it had begun
Now I guess my race is run
I get home
And pour a drink,
I don't want to stop to think
'Cause if I think, I'll never feel the same.
The poison pounds and burns my brain
It always stays the same,
It always stays the same.
Late at night,
I lie awake,
And drown in all of my mistakes,
Clawing towards the surface for a breath.
The weight weighs heavy on my heart
It always stays the same.
It always stays the same.
Remember when we both were young?
Our innocence shined like the sun
And all the times we danced through city streets
I count them one by one
Over before it had begun
Now I guess my race is run
I don't know how many hours I've spent
Staring at these four walls
Waiting for a sense of purpose to fall from the sky
Why do we do it?
Go through it all day after day
It always stays the same
Remember when we both were young?
Our innocence shined like the sun
And all the times we danced through city streets
I count them one by one
Over before it had begun
Now I guess my race is run
