So many lost in the shadows
We pretend that there's nothing at stake
Its a fact that we follow
all the friction in steps that we take
Oh
Trying hard to leave behind
This manic in motion
Fighting just to stay alive

Gotta get back to the basics
back to the basics now
I'm running circles
There's only one way out
Everything inside of me
is telling me that its about time to open my eyes
Back to the basics
cause I can't make this right

its now or never, now or never
no more wasting time
its getting better, once we sever
and hoist these ties
its now or never
its now or never,
like a shot from a starting gun
Oh

racing for the finish line
but i'm just learning but I'm
chasing something I can't find

Back to the basics, back to the basics now
I'm running circles, theres only one way out
everything inside of me
is telling me its about time to open my eyes
back to the basics cause I can't make this...

Its just a manic in motion
that keeps us from the other side
Fighting just to stay alive, it goes on

Back to the basics, back to the basics now
I'm running circles there's only one way out
back to the basics, back to the basics now
I'm running circles there's only one way out
everything inside of me, is telling me that its about time to open my eyes
back to the basics cause I can't face this life
Its now or never make it right
its now cause I can't face this life
Its now or never going back to the basics
