Vicious Cycle

I'm caught up in this feeling
Somehow I must be dreaming
But I'm not gonna play your games
I'm caught up in this feeling
Somehow I must be dreaming
But I'm not gonna play your games
I open my eyes and I take deep breath
Hoping tonight that my dreams won't be left
I pray for the change for something new
For the sunshine to break through

But every time I wake up, it's the same old show
The same old problems, the same old blows
I hope for the best, but it always seems to fail
Every day feels like a never-ending trail
I try to stay positive, but it's getting hard
To keep smiling, when I'm constantly scarred
I fight to keep going, but it's just the same
The same routine, the same old pain

I just want to escape, to a place that's bright

Where I can finally sleep, without a fight

Where the world is kind, and my heart is free

And every day is a chance to be me

I wake up each day with a hopeful heart,

Hoping to feel brighter right from the start.

But there's this feeling that I just can't shake,
Like there's something missing, a big mistake.
I try to stay positive, put on a smile,

But inside I feel like I'm walking a mile,

With a weight on my chest, I can't breathe,

As I struggle to find the light to believe.

It's a vicious cycle that I can't escape,
anxiety the inclined landscape.
I want to feel brighter, but it's hard to see,

The light in the darkness consuming me
I know I need to break this cycle, it's true,
And find a way to make my dreams come through.

With time and patience, I hope to find,
The brighter days I've left behind.

I'm caught up in this feeling
Somehow I must be dreaming
But I'm not gonna play your games
