"Closer" lyrics

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 till I break?

Each day getting closer
I'm overthinking again (Breathing in and breaking down)
Wait till it's over
Instead of wondering when

The less that I think 'bout it, the 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
I'm overthinking again (Breathing in and breaking down)
Wait till it's over
Instead of wondering 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 till it's over
I'm still wondering when

Each day getting closer
I'm overthinking again (Breathing in and breaking down)
Wait till it's over
Instead of wondering when

Each day getting closer
Wait till it's over
I promise it's there
Each day getting closer
Each day getting closer
Wait till it's over
I promise it's there
I promise it's there
