Satisfied

I've been working life away
And staying up all night and day
Just hoping I can find someway
To fill up this space that clutters me
It fills up my mind
Feeling like I never have enough time
Wondering if the risk I take
Will wind up just a big mistake
So I open up every part of me
And show you all the colors that consume me
Maybe it's all just make believe
To even wonder what its like to feel seen

Always seeking the next best thing
Why can't I just be
Right here in the moment
Just when I think I'm almost there
I see another flight of stairs
So I keep on climbing up for the rest of time
When will I realize
No matter how hard I try
I will never be satisfied

I remember that little girl
Who planned to conquer the whole world
To have it all would be the first wrong turn
Cause that path just leads to crashes and burns
So why can I still not see the signs
The faces laugh at me from behind the blinds
As I paint my life while colorblind
Hoping someday to see the lights of the sky

Always seeking the next best thing
Why can't I just be
Right here in the moment
Just when I think I'm almost there
I see another flight of stairs
So I keep on climbing up for the rest of time
When will I realize
No matter how hard I try
I will never be satisfied
Never be satisfied
Never be, never be, never be
Never be satisfied
Never be, Never be, Never be

I have poured my heart into everything
Nothing ever seems to be fulfilling
Will I ever believe in me
Time will pass me by
But I'll never be satisfied

Always seeking the next best thing
Why can't I just be
Right here in the moment
Just when I think I'm almost there
I see another flight of stairs
Always chasing the next big dream
Why can't I be me
I'm stuck, I'm frozen
Got me nearly losing my mind
I'm running out of time
So I'll keep on climbing up for the rest of my life
When will I realize
No matter how hard I try
I will never be satisfied
So I keep on climbing up for the rest of time
When will I realize
No matter how hard I try
I will never be satisfied
