Back To The Basics

So many lost in the shadows

We pretend that there's nothing at stake

Is it fact that we follow

All the fictional steps that we take

Trying hard to leave behind

This mannequin motion (mannequin motion)

Fighting just to stay alive

I've got to 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 it's about time to open my eyes

Back to the basics cause I can make this right

It's now or never

Now or never

No more wasting time

It's getting better once we sever and erase these ties

It's now or never (now or never)

Now or never

Like a shot from a starting gun

Racing for the finish line

But I'm just running blurry eyed

Chasing something I can't find

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 it's about time to open my eyes

Back to the basics cause I can make this

It's just a mannequin motion life

That keeps us from the other side

Fighting just to stay alive

It goes on (It goes on)

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 it's about time to open my eyes

Back to the basics cause I can't face this life

It's now or never

Make it right

It's now cause I can't face this life

It's now or never

Going back to the basics
