Streetlights flicker, I light up again,
Breathing in smoke like an old best friend.
City hums but I’m standing still,
Clock keeps moving, but I lost my will.
Silence weighs like a heavy chain,
Memories playing like a dead refrain.
Pulled too fast, then left too slow,
Where does this road even go?
Day and night, I chase the sky,
Every step feels like a lie.
If I reset, will it feel right?
Night falls, but I’m wide awake,
Lost in the space that time can’t take.
Running in place, buffering fate,
When do I get a clean escape?
(Falling faster, out of time)
(Restart button, blurred in lights)
No rewind, no second try,
Just one more breath before goodbye.
Smoke in my lungs, heavy in my chest,
Tried to quit, but it hurts less.
Patterns loop, same mistake,
Another round, another break.
Flashing signs scream, "Start again,"
But I'm stuck between the now and then.
Left on read, left on seen,
Is this real or just a dream?
Day and night, I chase the sky,
Every step feels like a lie.
If I reset, will it feel right?
Night falls, but I’m wide awake,
Lost in the space that time can’t take.
Running in place, buffering fate,
When do I get a clean escape?
(Falling faster, out of time)
(Restart button, blurred in lights)
No rewind, no second try,
Just one more breath before goodbye.
Cigarette burns, shadows stay,
Close my eyes but I can’t erase.
If I leave, if I go,
Would this story even know?
Night falls, but I’m wide awake,
Lost in the space that time can’t take.
Running in place, buffering fate,
When do I get a clean escape?
(Falling faster, out of time)
(Restart button, blurred in lights)
(If I disappear, would it be right?)
(Or is the glitch just part of life?)
Screen turns black, the city's cold,
Another cycle, another hold.
If there's a spring, let me know,
Before I fade into the snow.
