Lyrics: AnliD
Music: AnliD
The alarm clock screams, it’s 6 AM again
Coffee in my cup, but I’m losing to the pen
Stacks of unpaid bills on the kitchen floor
While my soul is knocking on a different door
Cold sweat
Deep regret
I’m selling my hours just to buy my breath
Chasing a ghost while I’m bored to death
I’m caught in the middle, I’m walking the wire
Drowning in the water, but I’m full of the fire
The world says "settle," my heart says "run."
I’m a midnight dreamer in the morning sun
Hold on tight
One more night
Between the rent and the dream, I’m gonna win the fight
They tell me I’m a fool, tell me "get a real job."
But the rhythm in my chest is starting to throb
Baggy eyes, heavy heart, riding on the bus
Wondering if there’s still a "king" inside of us
Fading spark
In the dark
I’m writing these lines on a grocery receipt
Refusing to admit that I’ve tasted defeat
I’m caught in the middle, I’m walking the wire
Drowning in the water, but I’m full of the fire
The world says "settle," my heart says "run."
I’m a midnight dreamer in the morning sun
Hold on tight
One more night
Between the rent and the dream, I’m gonna win the fight
