Chapter 7 - Running In Circles

Feet on the pavement, hands on the wheel,

Moving in circles, never getting near.

The sun keeps rising just to set again,

And I keep waking just to sink back in.

Oh, I swear I've tried,

And I don't know if I ever will.

Oh, I keep pushing, but I don't get through,

Keep on running, but the walls don't move.

Every step just brings me back once more,

Oh, I've been pushing, but I won't no more,

If the walls won't move, I'll break down the door.

Every step just brought me back before,

But I won't stay here anymore.

Feet on the pavement, hands on the wheel,

For the first time, I know this is real
