It Could Be Worse

Any Attack

Church Clothes 4

Dirt

I keep running for something,
But damn the finish line’s a hologram.

Set another goal call it therapy
Counting milestones just to feel I’m worth it
Every win’s a trophy that embarrasses me
Cause the moment it’s mine it don’t scratch the surface

Another late night, typing plans into my phone
Another “almost made it,” but I’m always alone
Friends text “where you been?” I hit ‘em with the ghost
Sorry, chasing dopamine, just chasing that post

Goalpost moves. Never see it land
I’m addicted to the race, not the victory lap
Success is just a mirror and I don’t like who’s staring back
I’m stacking up achievements like the pain will disappear
But you can’t outrun yourself
Nah that’s crystal clear

Move the goalpost further away
Every win’s a letdown anyway
Killing myself for a taste of the high
Never enough and I barely know why
Will it ever be enough?
Or am I just in love with the chase
Not the love?

Had to sacrifice my nights just to say that I’m driven
All this grind in the dark. Who am I trying to convince?
Scroll through old contacts. Damn, I miss my old friends
But ambition don’t text back, just keeps pushing that end

Got a heart full of bricks and a mind that’s on E
Told myself one more push then I’ll finally be free
But the line keeps running like a crooked old track
It’s a marathon to nowhere with a weight on my back

Was it ever about the winning or just hating to lose?
Am I fighting for respect or just fighting my blues?
Bet my soul on tomorrow. Keep on moving the mark
I might break through the wall or just break in the dark

Move the goalpost further away
Every win’s a letdown anyway
Killing myself for a taste of the high
Never enough and I barely know why
Will it ever be enough?
Or am I just in love with the chase, not the love?

What if the dream’s just a way to hide?
What if I’m running cause I’m empty inside?
What if I make it but it don’t feel right?
Still just a ghost dancing under the light

Move the goalpost further away...
You can chase what you want but you still gotta stay
