Escape Room

Stumble to the mirror, hollow eyes A stranger stares back, no surprise Coffee brews, but it can't revive Just another fight to feel alive The world outside feels cold and gray Same damn routine, just a different day Traffic jams and endless chores Life feels like a list of closed doors Work to live, or live to work? Work to live, or live to work? People don't know it anymore No longer knows what's looking for I live my life day by day Without thinking to yesterday And until my dreams come true My life will be an Escape Room Breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner We are all trapped in the same routine Eat, pray, love otherwise you're a sinner Docile pet in the hamster wheel Dream big, they say, but don't go too far Stay in your lane, know who you are Work, consume, repeat on cue Living the life they've chosen for you The clock ticks loud, a constant hum Counting down 'til we all succumb Chains made of habits, they feel so real But freedom's a myth they taught us to feel Work to live, or live to work? Work to live, or live to work? People don't have the answer yet Meanwhile, the chiefs go around by jet I live my life day by day Without thinking to yesterday And until my dreams come true My life will be an Escape Room Trapped inside these daily loops I chase a spark that flickers in my mind Worn-out shoes pounding empty streets Searching for a path I've yet to find My soul's on fire, but the flame is weak Still I keep on running, day after day If breaking free means tearing down walls I'll raise my fist and light the way I live my life day by day Without thinking to yesterday And until my dreams come true My life will be an Escape Room I live my life day by day Without thinking to yesterday And until my dreams come true My life will be an Escape Room And until my dreams come true My life will be an Escape Room
