Closer

The smoke's getting closer, I'm burning inside
I run out of breath while I waste all my time
All the time in the world could never clear my mind
No matter how hard I try, I keep on falling behind
I wait for the dread, it always comes back in waves
The tide draws me in until I feel like I'm safe
Every push and pull, I'm being frozen in place
Everything else can change, just how long 'til I break?

Each day getting closer (ah-ah-ah)
I'm overthinking again (breathing in and breaking down)
Wait 'til it's over (ah-ah-ah)
Instead of wondеring when

The less that I think 'bout it, thе less that I care
I guess that's the deal with life, it's never quite fair
You just breathe in the dust and pretend that it's air
Feel the pressure, I swear, I promise it's there
I count all my footsteps, but I never look back
It's hard to remember just how long a day lasts
'Cause I'll look for a sign thinking that it's a path
Oh, the seconds go fast, how much time do we have?

Each day getting closer (ah-ah-ah)
I'm overthinking again (breathing in and breaking down)
Wait 'til it's over (ah-ah-ah)
Instead of wondеring when

I'm breathing in and choking on lost time
I'm breaking down and hoping for a sign
Fading fast and watching it slip by
Drag it out and I
Wait 'til it's over
I'm still wondering when

Each day getting closer (ah-ah-ah)
I'm overthinking again (breathing in and breaking down)
Wait 'til it's over (ah-ah-ah)
Instead of wondеring when (ah-ah-ah)

Each day getting closer, wait 'til it's over
I promise it's there (each day getting closer)
Each day getting closer, wait 'til it's over
I promise it's there, I promise it's there
