Running in Circles

Verse 1: Rising up at dawn, another grind to face Punch the clock, I’m lost in the rat race Blood, sweat, and tears, they never count the cost Climbing up that ladder, but I’m still the boss Verse 2: Dreams I’m chasing, buried deep in the dirt Trading hours for pennies, but man, it hurts Ain't looking for a handout, just a break in the fight Wanna see a light shining, breaking through the night Chorus: Running faster, but I’m getting nowhere Busting chains, but there’s more to bear I’m working my fingers right down to the bone Running in circles but I’m still alone Verse 3: Each day’s another battle, I’m barely holding on Fighting for tomorrow, but it’s the same old song Every promise is empty, every sign’s a dead end But I'll keep on pushing, I ain't ready to bend Verse 4: Sweat on my brow, my knuckles are bruised But I won't be a pawn in a game they’ll use Keep my heart on the line, ‘cause I won’t be tamed Though they’re stacking the deck, I’ll beat ‘em at their game Chorus: Running faster, but I’m getting nowhere Busting chains, but there’s more to bear I’m working my fingers right down to the bone Running in circles but I’m still alone Verse 5: One of these days, I’m breaking out of this town I’m gonna light up the night and burn it all down Won’t be spinning my wheels, won't be stuck in the mud ‘Cause the road to freedom’s carved in my blood Chorus: Running faster, but I’m getting nowhere Busting chains, but there’s more to bear I’m working my fingers right down to the bone Running in circles but I’m still alone Outro: Yeah, I'm breaking free tonight Gonna take my shot, keep my dreams in sight With my head held high, you can’t hold me down I’ll keep fighting till I turn it all around!
