Numbers

How far
Am I running?
How many steps to take until this day is over?

I'm stretched out
In and over
Keep on counting again, again, again

Six hours
Was I sleeping?
Or lay awake in this dream, it all feels the same

Six hours
Until you're leaving
And it keeps coming back

A distant dream
Drifting further
Your wishes seemed
Somewhat chosen

'Cause you're lost in the numbers
How we feeling today?
What price to pay
To keep up with the numbers?
Working from nine to five
Trying to sleep at night
Lost in the numbers
(Hide your habits to fit the frame)
(Wearing your filter to keep up your game)
Lost in the numbers
But it's just numbers

(More is more)
(You don't settle for less)
(For every fail or follower that you track back on the web)
(And everybody has bought you)
(They don't hesitate)
(You better keep moving before they're starting to see through you)

Keeping all options open (More is more)
Selling your smile at an auction (You don't settle for less)
To get high on lies (For every fail or follower that you track back on the web
But when I know in comfort (And everybody has bought you)
And you left being lonely (They don't hesitate)
Putting yourself on (You better keep moving before they're starting to see through you)
The TV screen
Spending all your time succeeding
But no one to share your dream with

'Cause it doesn't mean anything
Until it becomes something
No, it doesn't mean anything
Until it becomes
Until it becomes

(Numbers)

'Cause you're lost in the numbers
How we feeling today?
The price to pay
To keep up with the numbers?
Working from nine to five
Trying to sleep at night
Lost in the numbers
(Hide your habits to fit the frame)
(Wearing your filter to keep up your game)
Lost in the numbers
But it's just numbers
