The Loop

Same alarm, same road, same face in the glass
The days add up but the hours go too fast
I missed the bedtime story, missed the smile
Told myself I'd make it up in a while

Then the world just stopped
I held my son in the dark
That's when I knew
Everything real was right here from the start

We're all living in the loop, losing what makes us alive
Health and love and being here, that's the truth
Open your eyes
Break the loop, break the loop, break the loop

Somewhere a family sits with an empty chair
We scroll the news like it wasn't ours to bear
The loop runs deep in every life, every war
But love is what remains, that's what we're here for

Then the world just stopped
I held my son in the dark
That's when I knew
Everything real was right here from the start

We're all living in the loop
Losing what makes us alive
Health and love and being here, that's the truth
Open your eyes
Break the loop, break the loop, break the loop

The game at bedtime you almost miss
Your child's face when you walk through the door
That's not routine
That's what we're here for

We're all living in the loop
Losing what makes us alive
Health and love and being here, that's the truth
Open your eyes
Break the loop yeah, break the loop now, break the loop

The loop goes on, but now you know
The loop goes on, but now you know
