Running On Empty

[Intro]
(whisper, glitch) hh… don’t stop…
Eyes heavy, world spinning —
I can’t catch my breath tonight.
(fade… fade…)

[Verse 1]
Wake up… repeat the same,
Everyday life burns like flame.
Feet dragging, hands too slow,
Mind racing where I can’t go.
(hhh… slow… so slow…)

Everything needs something from me,
Every voice, every task — I can’t see.
I smile to hide the storm inside,
But every second I just collide.
(crash… collide… sigh…)

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t pause, I can’t stop,
The noise inside just climbs to the top.
Holding on, but I feel thin,
Is this the weight I live in?
(so heavy… so heavy…)

[Chorus]
I’m running on empty —
No fuel, no light, no air.
I’m moving through the day, but I’m barely there.
Every heartbeat feels like a war,
I can’t take it anymore.
(hold me… let me rest… ah…)

[Verse 2]
The world keeps asking more of me,
But I’ve got nothing left to give.
Hands shaking, vision blurred,
And every word feels unheard.
(fade… fade… glitch…)

I try to push through the haze,
But time just drags in a cruel maze.
Even the quiet feels like a shout,
Every breath I take is full of doubt.
(so lost… so lost…)

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t pause, I can’t stop,
The noise inside just climbs to the top.
Holding on, but I feel thin,
Is this the weight I live in?
(so heavy… so heavy…)

[Chorus]
I’m running on empty —
No fuel, no light, no air.
I’m moving through the day, but I’m barely there.
Every heartbeat feels like a war,
I can’t take it anymore.
(hold me… let me rest… hh…)

[Bridge]
If I crumble, will it matter?
If I fall, will they even see?
I’m exhausted, I’m frayed, I’m scattered,
But I’m still here, barely free.
(fade… hold… fade…)

[Outro]
Running on empty…
(hhh… don’t stop… don’t stop…)
Maybe tomorrow, maybe later,
But tonight — I just survive.
(whisper) survive… survive… fade…
