Trapped in the Loop

Chain on my neck, it’s a pendulum swingin’,

Clock tick-tock, but the devil keeps singin’.

Shadows on my walls, they be movin’ when I sleep,

Pockets full of ghosts, they be hauntin’ what I keep.

Rats in the sewer, they whisper my name,

Dice on the pavement, it’s all just a game.

Pyramids in my dreams, stacking bricks of that green,

Reality's a nightmare, stitched at the seams.

Trapped in the loop, can't escape the grind,

Running in circles, losing my mind.

Trapped in the loop, where the shadows creep,

Money never sleeps, so I can't sleep.

Mind in the fog, got a haze in my dome,

Numbers on the burner, I’m avoiding the phone.

Chasing after gold, but it’s fools I collect,

Got a palace of regrets, in my thoughts I reflect.

Concrete jungle, vines twist through my veins,

Metal on my hip, hear the thunder when it rains.

City’s heartbeat, it’s a 808 thump,

But every step forward feels stuck in the slump.

Crows on the wire, they watch and they wait,

Snakes in the grass, slither close to the gate.

The clock hands spin, but the time don’t change,

Stuck in the loop, it’s a world deranged.
