Running
Running Through Red Lights: Navigating the Maze of Moving On
Lyrics
I think my brakes are broken cause I’m stuck in the motion of moving on
I feel like my progress is hindered because I can't stop moving forward.
And I can’t take a pause because I don’t wanna get stuck in my thoughts
I avoid taking breaks to prevent getting trapped in my own thoughts.

Cause I’m scared to death that if I take a break
Fear of taking a break as it may lead to confronting and accepting closure.
