inspired by restless leg syndrome.

lyrics

I wake up on the go
Sap won't slow
Though it's been cold
It's a little bit much
Just a little too rushed
Need dopamine
From a special light bulb
Don't own my feet
Yeah they're going wild
They go for miles
All damn night
Constant flight mode
Can't close my eyes
Too deep flutter kick
Then breach for another hit
Can't sleep can't stomach it
Four seven eight runnin' it
Too much to control
It's all too tight
Network overload
Too much inside a

Race with no arrival
I go on chasin' ghosts a while
It's a race with no arrival
I go on pacin' through the aisles

Are you awake now?
Come through and take me down
So my night's not wasted
I like how you make it alright
When I spiral out
Constant involvement
Calls for some lettin' go
I can't stay solid like you can
So let me know
Loose ends get messy though
I can't solve it
I've let the pressure grow
It's too close to call it in a

Race with no arrival
I go on chasin' ghosts a while
It's a race with no arrival
I go on pacin' through the aisles
