I'm running from door to door
Opening them up to find
The same room I was in before
I guess I'm losing my mind

I can't shake this feeling I have
And I wake up with a start
To find myself on the ceiling
I guess I'm falling apart

You've got me running in circles
Going up instead of down
Trying to find you
Trying to get away from you
And as the clock ticks by
I'm instead running out of time
Not sure if I'm any closer
To figuring you out.

How do you expect me to be clear
When in this empty room
The walls seem to have ears
There's no way out of this tomb

And the stairs turn into a slide
Slipping my way back to start
Into the walls, I collide
I refuse to fall apart.

You've got me running in circles
Going up instead of down
Trying to find you
Trying to get away from you
And as the clock ticks by
I'm instead running out of time
Not sure if I'm any closer
To figuring you out.

Time is ticking itself away
As I come to another dead end
I'm running out of things to say
But I refuse to break or bend

With a force no man could contain
I break down these walls
Ignoring all of this pain
As I listen to them fall

You've got me running in circles
Going up instead of down
Trying to find you
Trying to get away from you
And as the clock ticks by

You've got me running in circles
Going up instead of down
Trying to find you
Trying to get away from you

You've got me running in circles
Going up instead of down
Trying to find you
Trying to get away from you
And as the clock ticks by
I'm instead running out of time
Not sure if I'm any closer
To figuring this out.
I was inspired to write this because I felt as though the situation I'm in is just a huge riddle. Also written for my band.

To solve a riddle, is to un-do. 'Couse when you solved a riddle, it doesn't riddle you anymore. To solve, is to explore the meaning behind and make it clear. Becouse of these rules, I'd say that the answer to this ridle is "thoughts". I solved it.
