Lost in the system

Verse 1

The clock keeps ticking, but I can’t keep up,

Drowning in papers and a coffee-stained cup.

The weight of the world on these pages of lies,

Can’t see the horizon through tired, red eyes.

Pre-Chorus

They say it’ll be worth it, just hang on tight,

But my dreams feel buried in the dead of night.

Chorus

I’m screaming at the walls, but they don’t reply,

Lost in a system, just trying to get by.

All these exams, they’re breaking my soul,

I’m more than a number, I’ve got my own goals.

But life keeps pulling me down.

Verse 2

Pencils keep snapping like my brittle resolve,

Every question’s a puzzle I just can’t solve.

I’m running on fumes, there’s no time to rest,

This endless rat race, a never-ending test.

Pre-Chorus

They say it’ll be worth it, just stay the course,

But my passion’s fading, it’s feeling forced.

Chorus

I’m screaming at the walls, but they don’t reply,

Lost in a system, just trying to get by.

All these exams, they’re breaking my soul,

I’m more than a number, I’ve got my own goals.

But life keeps pulling me down.

Bridge

What if I could break away,

Find a life where I’m okay?

Burn the books, rewrite the rules,

No more being played as a fool.

Chorus

I’m screaming at the walls, but they don’t reply,

Lost in a system, just trying to get by.

All these exams, they’re breaking my soul,

I’m more than a number, I’ve got my own goals.

But life keeps pulling me down.

Outro

But someday I’ll rise, I’ll find my own light,

Turn all this pressure into strength for the fight.

This chapter’s not forever, I’ll write my own sound,

I’ll be the one pulling life around.
