Blades in My Shoes

I'm running through the slides, a race I never chose

Blades in my shoes, the rules is no one knows

Every step's a struggle, every stride's a fight

Stumbling through the dark, reaching for the light

All these hidden weights, cutting me deep

Invisible scars that I try to keep

Can't stop moving, though the pain's so real

With each mile, I lose the feel

Blades in my shoes, dragging me down

Can't outrun the shadows in this hollow town

Trying to keep up, but the pain breaks through

Life's a race, but I'm bleeding too

Blades in my shoes, tearing me apart

Every step's a wound straight into my heart

People pass me by, they're running on air

Don't see the burdens I've been forced to wear

I scream for help, but who would understand

The weight of the world pressed into the sand

All these dreams I chase, slipping away

Blades in my shoes, they won't let me stay

Running for something I can barely see

A race against all that's holding me

Blades in my shoes, dragging me down

Can't outrun the shadows in this hollow town

Trying to keep up, but the pain breaks through

Life's a race, but I'm bleeding too

Blades in my shoes, tearing me apart

Every step's a wound straight into my heart

I wonder if I stop, would the pain just fade

If I let go, would I be saved

But the world won't wait, the race won't end

I can't stop this fight with it

Blades in my shoes, dragging me down

Can't outrun the shadows in this hollow town

Trying to keep up, but the pain breaks through

Life's a race, but I'm bleeding too

Blades in my shoes, tearing me apart

Every step's a wound straight into my heart

So I'll keep on running, scars and all

Though the road feels endless and I might fall

With blades in my shoes, I'll fight to stay

Through the hurt, through the dark, I'll find my way
