[Verse]
Chasin' the check, but the check bounce back,
Mirror crack—who this failure starin' back?
Bills stack higher than my faded ambition,
Every move a chess game, but I’m missin' positions.
A spark in the dark, thought the flame would catch,
But the wind whisper woes, dreams detach.
[Prechorus]
Concrete feels softer than my pride,
Every step forward, ten steps collide.
[Chorus]
Downhill dreams, rollin', rollin', outta steam,
Thought I saw the light, but it’s the devil’s gleam.
Hope hangin’ on a thread, thin as it seems,
I’m holdin' tight to these downhill dreams.
[Verse 2]
Woke up thinkin' maybe this the shift,
But the weight on my chest ain’t takin’ no lift.
Every call I make, just a busy tone,
Shoutin’ at the sky, but I’m talkin’ alone.
Friends disappear, shadows in the glow,
Success a mirage, and I’m draggin' slow.
[Bridge]
Clock tickin', heart quicken, can’t rewind,
Dust on my past, future blind.
But if this storm got an end, I’ll fight the grind,
Even if I’m broke, my soul ain’t signed.
[Chorus]
Downhill dreams, rollin', rollin', outta steam,
Thought I saw the light, but it’s the devil’s gleam.
Hope hangin’ on a thread, thin as it seems,
I’m holdin' tight to these downhill dreams.
