The Circle

## Verse 1
I wake up in the morning, I'm not sure about the day,
Trying to stay sober, fuck I drink it anyway
Got an appointment with my lawyer and don't know what to say
Head heavy as a stone and my joint burned my brain finally away,
Try to keep up with the world, in the loop of night and day
But these pills keep me anxious about not finding my way
## Verse 2
Money running low, but the debts keep piling high
Missed calls from my mama, I can't look her in the eye
Streets don't sleep and neither do I, chasing ghosts till sunrise
Every promise that I make becomes another lie
Caught between who I am and who I'm trying to be
In this concrete jungle where nothing comes for free
## Refrain
Caught in the cycle, can't break these chains
Same old story, different kind of pain
Searching for answers in bottles and smoke
Drowning in waters too deep to float
Yeah, drowning in waters too deep to float
## Verse 3
Shadows follow me around like they know my name
Different day but somehow everything's the same
Looking in the mirror, barely recognize my face
Trying to outrun demons but they matching my pace
They say time heals all but the clock moves slow
When you're trapped in a cycle that you can't let go
## Verse 4
Phone's blowing up with people I owe
Memories fading like footprints in snow
Used to have dreams but they vanished like smoke
Paradise lost with each line that I choke
Talk about change but I'm stuck in my ways
Counting the hours, losing track of the days
## Refrain
Caught in the cycle, can't break these chains
Same old story, different kind of pain
Searching for answers in bottles and smoke
Drowning in waters too deep to float
Yeah, drowning in waters too deep to float
## Verse 5
Last night's decisions become morning regrets
Rolling the dice with increasing bets
They say rock bottom's got a basement too
And I'm finding out that shit is true
One step forward but two steps back
Mind's a warzone, under constant attack
## Outro
The cycle continues, day after day
Trying to find light but lost in the gray
Maybe tomorrow I'll find a new path
For now I'm just riding this hurricane's wrath
Caught in the cycle, no end in sight
Just me and my demons in this endless fight
