## [Verse 1]
Started with giggles, colors bright and new
But something's shifting, can't tell what's true
Thoughts accelerating, can't slow them down
Smiles turn to worry, joy starts to drown
The walls ain't just breathing, they're cl-cl-closing in tight
What was beautiful now fills me with fright
Time stretching forever, seconds like days
Lost in my mind's ever-darkening maze
*(Background vocals: "darkening maze... darkening maze...")*
## [Hook]
I-I-I just wanna come back, find my way h-home
*(Background vocals: "find your way back")*
Trapped in my head and I'm f-f-feeling alone
This wasn't the jou-journey I signed up to take
*(Background vocals: "not what I wanted")*
How m-many hours until I awake? ★
## [Verse 2]
My heartbeat's pounding through my chest like drums
Anxiety rising as the dar-darkness comes ★
Thought I knew myself until these depths I saw
Inner demons circling, teeth and claw
Friends' faces morphing, can't recognize who's who
Their words sound si-sinister, though I know that's not true
Paranoia whispering lies in my ear
"They're laughing at you," is all that I hear
*(Background vocals: "all in your head... all in your head...")*
## [Verse 3]
Can't escape the loo-loop of negative thought ★
Regretting decisions that can't be unfought
The ceiling is watching, ju-ju-judging my sins
As memory fragments spin like wind
I'm begging time to move fa-fa-faster somehow
Promising anything to end this right now
What was four hours feels like for-forty years ★
As I battle shadows and confront my fears
*(Background vocals: "shadows and fears... shadows and fears...")*
## [Bridge]
They say challenging trips can teach you the most
But right now I'm ha-ha-haunted by my personal ghosts
Desperately grounding, counting each breath
*(Background vocals: "just breathe... just breathe...")*
This psychological space feels like near-death
Hold on to s-something real, this will pass
Though eternity lives in each moment, alas
Remember the mantra: "Th-this isn't forever" ★
Through the storm of my mind, just hold it together
## [Hook]
I-I-I just wanna come back, find my way h-home
*(Background vocals: "find your way back")*
Trapped in my head and I'm fee-feeling alone
This wasn't the jou-journey I signed up to take ★
*(Background vocals: "not what I wanted")*
How m-many hours until I awake?
## [Outro]
The light's still there somewhere beyond the dark clouds
Though my thoughts keep sc-scr-screaming, intense and loud
Maybe tomorrow I'll make sense of tonight ★
But now I'm just fighting to see any light
*(Background vocals: "see the light... see the light...")*
Next time I'll respect the pow-power they hold
These teachers aren't gentle when lessons unfold
Through terror and beauty, the m-m-m-mushroom reveals ★
The shadows within that daylight conceals
*(Background vocals: "shadows within... shadows within...")*
