[Verse 1]
These veins are lagging, I must get up
No gains, abstaining, pray the rust lets up and
A self-reminder, my quo ain't status
Mind's on shuffle, trouble flowing like a playlist
Trek the prep, I step outside
Screaming stride, like a phoenix flying
Am that I am, I'm so damn alive, I
Thrive on fire, grow wild inside, on
A lakewalk melee, summer to the autumn
Every day is leg day, running from my problems
Six years back, I was a fucking mess
Now that same fucking mess is archaic dress sense
Set fire to the past and leave, no desire to
Believe I'm the same brat I used to be
Prose became the flame, a volcano in my head
Explodes to the beat of my feet on the street ahead
Not seated til death, got an end to reach
Can't yet stay blessed on my own two feet
State unstuck, guess we're outta luck, cuz
I'm stressed, out of gum, and fresh outta fucks, I'm
[Chorus]
Lost in a racing brain til my days end
Thoughts caught chasing, will never catch a break
With this pace, no, my legs weren't made to last
When the past comes back, though, it better run fast
Lost in a racing brain til my days end
Leaving through the same damn frame that I came in
Chased, no, my legs weren't made to last
When the past comes back, though, it better run fast
[Bridge]
Deadened bliss
Left rest for the finished
Said that I'ma win this
Witness is a God
Got with the sickness
Ooh ah ah ah
Blaze at a pace to end this
And my friend that ain't
Second, paint the train
Wreckage, shades of gray
And reddish, and that may
Be from this blade
My machete, I
Aim, cuz I'm ready
Slash me through some fiction
I refuse to become winded
[Verse 2]
So fuck money, sick of running for the green
I'm running for the scenery, not running for the scene
Need more tattoos, fewer bruises
Less bad news, I choose this movement, over
The toothless, teething on the roots of a tree
Leaf in the breeze, what's a human to do with this
Perfectionism? tryna rule these dreams
Dissecting 'em, clueless to what anything means
The anti-chase, I found myself running
Further and further away from something
Old hurt, a someone, maybe in retrospect, it
Could be the truth is I move cuz I'm meant to
Fate tempts me, empty lungs and out of breath
Can I trust to be the one who outruns the rest?
No outcome with rest, feel the pulse on my wrist
Reroute, wide eyes, making sure I exist
Embraced the aloneness, once I'm feeling how
The race gives us wholeness, I'm done with stealing out
The base, yes, our hornet's nest manifests in a
Method that will let rise the hive with a flex
Won't taste the curb yet, my stinger's gonna bring it to a-
Nother level 'less the shovel digs the tunnel big enough to
Fit the trail of dead, the offense, ready
Body unsteady, legs heavy, never treading
On the wrong road path, a word swarm I've summoned
No longer outta breath, forward towards ya, I'm coming
I'm
[Chorus]
Lost in a racing brain til my days end
Thoughts caught chasing, will never catch a break
With this pace, no, my legs weren't made to last
When the past comes back, though, it better run fast
Lost in a racing brain til my days end
Leaving through the same damn frame that I came in
Chased, no, my legs weren't made to last
When the past comes back, though, it better run
It better run fast
[Outro]
I may hate to win this race, might take a slower pace
Eyes stay aligned, mind is pinned inside a colder place
Why I'm on a blind man's chase, signs on a faded face
My chance can't find that date, may try and blame this change
Side is burning, while my mind subsides, I'm learning
Why this brightness shines and rises high to try and light my way
Pavement path drifts past the chants of sane, attack still lacks
A mental shift, I put to wax, and latched this match to brain
