Marathon Songtext
von Locket

Tied up my laces
It′s my luck to waste this
Just to prove to myself
That I'm capable
I′m willing and able

A grape on the vine
My foot on the starting line digs in
To catch my grip

Head up, impatient
The last time my pace went from a sprint to a halt
There's one thing in my way and it's my own fault

A grape on the vine
My foot on the starting line kicks off
And lifts the dirt

Gunshots set off like a marathon
Like we′re losing time ′til the finish line
If I keep this up, will I see anyone?
Completely erase why I've been runnin′ in the first place


I got tripped up when I veered off the trail
Now the fear from falling behind
And failing's got me losing track of time
You know, it′s kinda hard to find

I blurred the line between where I was headed
Lost between pine and remember how you said
"Stop and take a breath"
But it's been choking me to death

′Cause I wouldn't have cared if I knew it was only
As temporary as the moment a trophy's
Held above our heads
Like in a headline you once read

It′s the kinda thing that′d make you laugh
The way somebody else's getting lost on the path
Reminds you where to go
But hell if I even know

It′s haunting in the way that it moves
Creeping slowly it follows you
But nothing's as it seems (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Like wearing masks on Halloween


′Cause I lost myself on the thousandth mile
I know for a fact that it's been a while
Since I said I miss my friends
I wonder if those things ever end
When you broke through the tape and you made it across
Did you celebrate? Why did you focus on
The little things you missed?
Pretending like you never gave a shit

If I′m all alone when I make it there
If nobody shows, why should I care?
'Cause all I really know
There's always so much more to go
(Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)
