Waking up Same routine Clock is ticking I'm a machine Eyes wide But nothing's seen Trying hard to stay serene Coffee in Life on hold Do what I'm told Play the role Keeping pace Never bold Heart is warm Mind is cold Day to day I survive Living just to feel alive Everyone wants me to thrive But inside I just drive Pleasing all No end in sight Smile wide But it's a fight Feeling lost in this light Every day Fades to night Walls i built to keep me sane Hiding cracks beneath the strain Smiling on through all the pain But its hard to break the chain Tasks repeat On we go Trying hard to let it show Happy faces No one knows Inside I'm screaming slow Day to day I survive Living just to feel alive Everyone wants me to thrive But inside I just drive Pleasing all No end in sight Smile wide But it's a fight Feeling lost in this light Every day Fades to night Echoes of my steps I trace Running in this endless race Familiar paths Same old place But never feeling any grace Craving more but getting less Hoping for some kind of rest Wearing smiles I try my best But Im feeling so compressed Empty goals, they guide my way Marking time, I start to sway Waiting for a brighter day But the colors fade to grey Tasks repeat On we go Trying hard to let it show Happy faces No one knows Inside I'm screaming slow Happy faces No one knows Inside I'm screaming slow Happy faces No one knows Inside I'm screaming slow
