Marathon

[Verse 1]
Tied up my laces
It's my luck to waste this
Just to prove to myself that I'm capable
I'm willing and able
A grape on the vine
My foot on the starting line
Digs in to catch my grip

[Chorus]
Head up, impatient
The last time my pace went from a sprint to a halt
There's one thing in the way and it's my own fault

[Verse 2]
A grape on the vine
My foot on the starting line kicks off
And lifts the dirt

[Chorus]
Gunshots set off like a marathon
Like we're losing time 'til the finish line
If I keep this up, will I see anyone completely erase
Why I've been running in thе first place?

[Bridge]
I got tripped up when I veerеd off the trail
Now the fear from falling behind
And failing has got me losing track of time
You know it's kinda hard to find
I blurred the line between where I was headed
Lost in the pines and remembered how you said
To stop and take a breath
But it's been choking me to death

[Verse 3]
'Cause I wouldn't have cared if I knew it was only
As temporary as the moment a trophy is held above our heads
Like in a headline you once read
It's the kind of thing that'd make you laugh
The way somebody else getting lost on the path
Reminds you where to go
But hell if I even know
It's haunting in the way that it moves
Creeping slowly it follows you
But nothing as it seems
Like wearing masks on Halloween

[Chorus]
'Cause I lost myself on the thousandth mile
And I know for a fact that it's been a while
Since I said I missed my friends
I wonder if those things ever end
When you broke through the tape and you made it across
Did you celebrate or did you focus on
The little things you missed
Pretending like you never gave a shit?

[Outro]
And if I'm all alone when I make it there
If nobody shows, then why should I care?
'Cause all I really know
Is there's always more to go
(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)
