An Uphill Battle for Eggs

Family memory

Tia Dieu's workout mix — climbing hills, chasing protein, and laughing through the burn.

Lyrics

Transcribed from the recording — close to the song, but not always word-perfect.

The
Tidgets on the dash are they stuck in a loop?
I'm running in place, feeling like a dupe
Staring at the zero, staring at the floor
Is this really what I came here for?
My lungs are on fire, the belt's pulling back
Off course, off track, I'm fading to black
Why am I doing this to myself today?
Chasing a shadow that won't go away
It's an uphill battle for a play to face
I'm losing my mind and I'm losing my legs
Yeah, we're burning alive just to feed the soul
Losing our control, losing our control
Another mile marker, another lie
I'm watching the seconds crawl slowly by
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Is it ego or bacon that's driving the pace?
I can't tell the difference, I can't find the space
My sneakers are heavy, my spirit is thin
Just tell me when the syrup kicks in
Why am I doing this to myself today?
Chasing a shadow that won't go away
It's an uphill battle for a play to face
I'm losing my mind and I'm losing my legs
Yeah, we're burning alive just to feed the soul
Losing our control, losing our control
Is it worth the suffering?
Is the armlet really worth the pain?
I'm questioning the motive, I'm questioning the game
One more sprint, one more fight
I need that table, I need that line
Why am I doing this to myself today?
Chasing a shadow that won't go away
It's an uphill battle for a play to face
I'm losing my mind and I'm losing my legs
Yeah, we're burning alive just to feed the soul
Losing our control, losing our control
Stop the bell
Stop the bell, heavy breathing
Is it time?
Yeah, let's go
Laughter
