Stand Up (Collapse)

I get ahead,
so frighteningly ahead,
but then it all explodes in my face.

I can barely see through the ash,
but I know there's nothing new to find.

This looks familiar.
This feels so similar.
So much changed and yet nothing did.

It's like it all means nothing.
It's like it all means nothing.

So stupid and naïve;
I will always try.

I get behind,
so frighteningly behind,
but I will always run to catch up.

I can barely breathe from the smoke,
but I know there's a reason for me to be.

I want it all to mean something.
I want it all to mean something.
