Strain

[Slow Guitar] [Melancholy Melody] [Subtle drums] [Humming Bass] (Yeah, yeah), Two jobs and school, man, it’s taking a toll, Feel like I’m racing just to lose control, Eyes on the clock, but time's slipping away, It's never good enough can't seem to find a way; In the mirror’s reflection, see a stranger’s face, A tired soul trying to keep pace, My mom keeps telling me that she is proud, But when I look inside, can you tell me how? [Melody Change] [Pace Up] [Pre-Chorus] [Melodic singing] Sitting in a public place, a loner, People passing by me start to wonder: [Chorus] [Male 2] [Slow singing] [Melodic] "Why’s he all alone, what’s his story now? Is he gonna make it, does he know how? Facing all the struggles, trying to stay awake, Does he realize that he just needs a break?" [Break] [Bridge] (Yeah, yeah), Every step I take feels like a mile, Haven’t felt at peace in a long, long while; Working through the pain, hiding all the fears, Wasting away all my younger years; [Verse 2] Adrenaline junkie on a treadmill of debt, Chasing a future that society set; Running on empty, can’t see the end, Balancing dreams, reality bends; Caught in a cyclone, clarity’s rare, Navigating through storms, need to find some air. [Breakdown] [Pre-Chorus] [Melodic singing] Sitting in a public place, a loner, People passing by me start to wonder: [Chorus] "Why’s he all alone, what’s his story now? Is he gonna make it, does he know how? Facing all the struggles, trying to stay awake, Does he realize that he just needs a break?" [Guitar slows down] [Musical Change] [Quick Interlude] [Outro] Maybe someday this darkness will fade Find a rhythm, a new song to be played But for now, I'll keep pushing through Believing in path that I myself drew [Pre-Chorus] [Melodic singing] Sitting in a public place, a loner, People passing by me start to wonder: [Chorus] [Finale] "Why’s he all alone, what’s his story now? Is he gonna make it, does he know how? Facing all the struggles, trying to stay awake, Does he realize that he just needs a break?" [End]
