Circles

Let the fire cleanse, let it burn away Until I rise again, let me hold this space Will I find my strength? Or will it be misplaced Just try to follow where I've been sent, I hope it don't lead astray Everyday feeling like the same now, start to wonder if I've lost myself Subtle pieces that I had to change out, but it's all adding up into a lot, my health Really ain't as important as getting payed now, how's that for the norm How they keep us subservient, in a daze now, just fill your name on the form Said "I ain't going out like that, I ain't going out like that", that was years ago Now I stand on the train with a tag with my name Swear this badge is a brand, boredom fanning the flames 'Til it catch those hoops And we all dive through Roll up, roll up Can't let the circle become my noose Til it's gone It burns, it burns away Wanna tell her that I love her, but she don't wanna hear that That's a human connection, it's like lately we fear that She don't wanna go deep, tepid water at the surface Tryna walk across a tightrope, but ain't no order in the circus I been trying to catch hold, I been trying to break free I've been trying, man All this grinding takes tolls, all these lies, it ain't me I've been hiding, man I been losing my soul, this survival aint cheap I been fighting man I been digging this hole, 'til the light ain't something I see But I've been climbing, man Yeah - gotta wonder why we play these games Gotta wonder why we run this circuit And it always seems to stay the same I just wonder why I feel so numb, now Feel the fire and embrace the pain In a link, but I'll lose it somehow I'm just struggling to break the chains - A 'Til it's gone It burns, it burns away 'Til it's gone It burns, it burns away 'Til it's gone It burns, it burns away 'Til it's gone It burns, it burns away
