"Back To The Basics" Lyrics

So many lost in the shadows
We pretend that there's nothing at stake
Is it fact that we follow
Or the frictional stops that we take

Trying hard to leave behind
This mannequin motion (mannequin motion)
Fighting just to stay alive

I've 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 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 the shot from a starting gun

Racing for the finish line
But I'm just learning 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
