(Intro)

[Verse 1]
Over time those years had passed by, weeks had sneaked past, days had filed by me
everything is just wasted and all that is
I was filled with loneliness, losing fondness like a helpless lost kid
standing here nowhere losing my lead

[Verse 2]
We've been through so long and so much trying to get over our worries
but still got stuck on this pointless trip
then I ditched my resolutions and still didn't get to figure my shit
and the year just ended within glimpses

(Interlude)

[Verse 3]
All of a sudden we lost guides we lost lights and we lost minds and basics
we've been losing paths to everything
got hallucinated by brightening lights that kept flashing on me
while I dazedly walking down the street

[Pre-Chorus1]
Merely I’m a failed cynic
spitting swear words and changing nothing
I gazed at eclipses
hoping to see even a whisk of luminescence

[Chorus 1]
While I lay down in the middle of the street
trying to see if a car could run right over me
glazing lights at dark makes me nauseatingly sick
but I guess we are now stuck in a world like this

(Solo [Trumpets])

[Verse 4]
I tend to get myself some beers while getting stoned, being intoxicating
overthink is an alibi for these
while my life just drags me down and beats me had me hate the reality
deprived my opportunity to dream

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You said I’d grown up
from what pushes you down
whether you like it or not
but anyways
I still would have to get out of the abyss

[Chorus 2]
So I made up those schemes as a shield
yet it is too heavy and I can barely breathe
I’d implore to lord to have mercy on me
cause I’m losing myself in this fluorescent city

(Ending)
