[Verse 1]
The clock spins fast, but the world moves slow,
Caught between where I’m headed and the place I know.
Books stack high, but my mind’s unsteady,
Dreams feel light, but this weight’s too heavy.
A sax cries faint through the static of the street,
And my footsteps sync to a broken beat.
Is it the grind or the guilt that’s louder?
I’m drowning in the noise, chasing fleeting power.
[Prechorus]
The loop plays back, like a scratched refrain,
Am I lost in the music or just lost in my brain?
[Chorus]
Oh, I’m lost in the loop, spinning round and round,
Searching for my truth, but it can’t be found.
These notes, they haunt, these chords, they bruise,
Am I chasing a dream or just scared to lose?
[Verse 2]
Late-night lectures, but my heart’s on mute,
Can’t major in love, can’t minor in truth.
The walls close in, as the trumpet sighs,
And the moonlight reflects all my alibis.
Life’s a sample, chopped, reversed, replayed,
Every move I make feels like I’m afraid.
Soul records spin, but my soul stands still,
Trying to climb up, but I’m stuck on the hill.
