The Circle

Counting the number

Of times I remember

Of lying awake in my bed

Hating my self

When I'm outside the boundaries

That only exist in my head

Losing your faith

While I'm lost in the details

How many times

Have I been here before

In my life (in my life)

This happens every time

I open up myself

Just to be left behind

I know I'm (I know I'm)

Running in circles

To a place

I know does not exist

Only in my mind

Breaking the cycle that ruins my life

By starving the monster that I keep inside

Obsessive compulsion

Repeating an action

In my life (in my life)

This happens every time

I open up myself

Just to be left behind

I know I'm (I know I'm)

Running in circles

To a place

I know does not exist

Is it me in control?

I'm trapped in a manic dimension

Becoming a machine

I'm a slave to my prime directive

A puppet on a string

This balance

Is broken

This madness

Will become my grave

And you'll pile the dirt on me

I lost the plot but it still holds me

In my life (in my life)

This happens every time

I open up myself

Just to be left behind

I know I'm (I know I'm)

Running in circles

To a place

I know does not exist
