Spinnin’ on an endless wheel
Make the bed, then break the seal
Twist the sheets, undo the day
Sunlight says, “begin again”
Wake up early, wash my hair
Punch a clock that isn’t there
Pay my dues minus the chills
Trade my time to pay my bills
I was so damn tired
Every day cut a little deeper
Somewhere in the grind
I got smaller, got cheaper
I wasn’t tryin’ to die
But I wasn’t tryin’ to live
Just a robot goin’ through it
With nothin’ left to give
Then you breathed into me—
Sharp and sudden, like a hit—
Now I’m gaspin’ on the truth
That I forgot I could exist
You are oxygen
Adrenaline
A pulse under my skin
Sayin’ “start again”
You’re a mirror
Held too close
Showin’ me the girl
I almost lost
Somewhere along, I went numb
She’s so cruel and he’s so dumb
Phone keeps ringin’, same refrain
Different voice, same small pain
I almost forgot my place
Watched the hours fall like rain
But there’s time inside the spill
If I step off of the wheel
I was so worn down
Every breath felt like a burden
Livin’ half-alive
Like I didn’t even earn it
I wasn’t tryin’ to die
But I wasn’t tryin’ to live
Just a shadow in the corner
With nothin’ left to give
Then you breathed into me—
Lit a fire on my skin—
Now I’m shakin’ from the fact
That I remember how to live
You are oxygen
Adrenaline
A clock tickin’ in my chest
Sayin’ “don’t give in”
You’re a mirror
Held up high
Showin’ me the parts
I used to hide
Chemistry, physics—
You rearranged me
Every molecule
Reclaimed me
Blood rush, head spin—
Call it what you want
But I was disappearin’
Now I’m not
You are oxygen
Adrenaline
Proof that I’m not done
That I can begin
You’re the echo
In my bones
Sayin’ “you were never
Meant to go”
You made me step off the wheel
Showed me I am still real
And what you’ve given me
Is a sweet - sweet
