Running on Empty Lyrics

Waking up another day same old grind

Eyes half-open but the world feels unkind

Endless emails deadlines loom

Dreams of sleep in the afternoon

Coffee in my cup trying to stay awake

But this daily struggle is more than I can take

Clock's ticking fast but time moves slow

Trapped in this cycle nowhere to go

I'm always tired can't seem to find relief

Burdened by the weight of modern-day belief

Running on empty chasing distant dreams

In a world that never stops or so it seems

Meetings screens and the constant rush

Moments of silence feel like I'm being crushed

Overworked yet feeling underdone

In this rat race I can't see the sun

Living for the weekend but it slips away

Another Monday morning and it's back to the fray

Life's a blur in this digital haze

Lost in the maze of these endless days

I'm always tired can't seem to find relief

Burdened by the weight of modern-day belief

Running on empty chasing distant dreams

In a world that never stops or so it seems

Sometimes I wonder if there's more to this life

Than this endless struggle this constant strife

Looking for a way to break these chains

To find a moment's peace in these tired veins

I'm always tired can't seem to find relief

Burdened by the weight of modern-day belief

Running on empty chasing distant dreams

In a world that never stops or so it seems

So I'll close my eyes just for a while

Escape this madness regain my smile

In this restless world I'll find my way

To a place where I'm not always tired every day
