[Intro]
[cinematic synths swell like fog rolling in, distant 808 heartbeat]
Gray days grip me... even when the sun is out.
[Verse 1]
Paychecks stackin' high but my chest feels hollowed out,
Smilin' for the 'Gram while my mind's in a drought.
Friends say I'm blessed, got the life they all dream,
But I'm lost in the labyrinth, chasin' ghosts in the steam.
Every win feels empty, every loss cuts too deep,
Nights turn to weeks and I can't find no sleep.
The maze got me twisted, every path leads to pain,
No light at the tunnel, just more turns in the rain.
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to map it out, drew lines in the sand,
But the walls keep movin', slippin' right through my hands.
[Chorus]
Mental maze, I'm stuck in this mental maze,
Turn after turn, lost in the haze.
Good on paper but my soul's in a cage,
No exit sign, just the echo of my rage.
(Yeah... mental maze...)
[Verse 2]
Therapy sessions, pills that don't fill the void,
Distractions and vices, but the darkness ain't destroyed.
I hit the gym, hit the road, hit the bottle at night,
Still wakin' up empty, still losin' the fight.
The maze don't forgive, it just keeps on expandin',
Every "I'm fine" is a lie I'm demandin'.
Success tastes bitter when your heart's on the floor,
More turns, more dead ends, I can't take no more.
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm the problem, maybe the maze is me,
Built from the scars of who I used to be.
But even in the gray, a tiny spark survives,
Flickerin' faint in the back of my mind.
[Final Chorus]
Mental maze... still trapped in this mental maze,
But maybe one turn leads out of the haze.
Good on paper, but I'm fightin' to feel,
Tiny spark in the dark, maybe this time it's real.
(Oh... mental maze...)
[Outro]
[cinematic synths fade, vocal echoes in reverb]
More turns...
No light...
But maybe... just maybe.
