And my closet been a home to many skeletons for years
I been picking up their bones and then assembling new fears
I might run around to find a place to rest, then build a crypt
Finish dreaming about sleep and then clock in another shift
Every single day the mirror paints a picture on my eyes
"There's a frown hiding deep inside the corners of your smile
You been running all your life and you are running out of time
Running circles in reverse, and you don't ever look behind"
And I only chase the cheese because the hunger's chasing me
I've been tumbling through the mazes and the endless spinning wheels
Bending corners in my sleep to find the fields where grass is green
Then I'm pacing, pacing, pacing, just so I can rest in peace, ah
Tunnel vision till I'm feeling like a mole
Catch my breath then I go back inside the hole
I'm creeping out with a distrustful pair of eyes
All my life I've been searching paradise
Do it for the dollars
Do it for the feeling
Do it for clout now
Be a little villain
Rat race, running miles, bitch
Ran at least a hundred
Inside a paper town
With a lighter in my pocket
And I would burn it down
Just to find a way back home
And run after the crowd
Just to end up all alone
Rat race, running miles, bitch
I chase after the crown
Building castles in the sands
Build the walls all around
And I would bring the wave
Just to sit up on that throne
Drown my sorrows in the ocean
Then get washed up on the shore
And I'm moving, moving, moving, moving - slipping through the cracks
Feeding fuel into this locomotive, hope I stay on track
Maybe if I'm running fast enough the sun will never set
Maybe tomorrow never comes, maybe today will never end
Rat race, running miles, bitch, I'm pacing on and on
I heard: "It's not what you chase, but it's what you are running from"
Stuck inside an angle where there's no place else to go
Glued forever in a sketch where all the lines were drawn
I've been running for so long, the world around me disappeared
My bones are rattling and the meat is falling off my heels
He put me in a closet closed the door and hid the keys
Then he woke up in morning and so the whole day repeats
Set in stone, now you can hate me to the bone
I see the world from the inside of a hole
I'm creeping out with a distrustful pair of eyes
All my life I've been searching paradise
Rat race, running miles, bitch, ran at least a hundred
Inside a paper town with a lighter in my pocket
And I would burn it down just to find a way back home
And run after the crowd just to end up all alone
Do it for the dollars
Do it for the feeling
Do it for clout now
Be a little villain
Rat race, running miles, bitch, I chase after the crown
Building castles in the sand, Build the walls all around
And I would bring the wave just to sit up on that throne
Drown my sorrows in the ocean, then get washed up on the shore
