The Lying Road

Feet running, flying
Heart bleeding, dying
Eyes flooded, crying
This road ahead is lying.

I keep moving, trying
Head held up, vying
Time to time, victory spying
But this road ahead keeps lying.

I’m running as fast as I can,
I’m reaching but you won’t grasp my hand,
I know you can hear my screaming demand,
Why do you not understand?

I’m falling,
I’m calling,
I’m racing,
Left stalling

I’m moving in place
Caught in this space
Left last in the race

Tell me it won’t last forever,
Tell me it gets better

Cause I’m tired of trying to fly
I can’t lie down and die
I can’t break down and cry
But this road just continues to lie.
