Lyricist's Labyrinth

[Verse: Adapted] (Yeah, yeah, uh) Mystic air, Cali breeze, got me Lost in the land of the palm trees Warm smell of colitas drifting my way This vibe's surreal like I'm in a dream state Welcome to the spot, Hotel California Such a lovely place, laid back with allure, huh Plenty of room, if you got the persona Mind gets twisted up like a cyclone, bruh Mirrors on the ceiling, pink champagne on the table [Verse: Continued] (Yo, check it, uh) Through the corridor, I walk, and I’m feeling the tension Guitars strum and hum, they demand my attention Her voice rings, a siren that's calling I'm trying to wake up, but into dreams I'm falling Keep it all mellow, just kickin' it solo But something ’bout this place, like a twist in the photo Mind's spinning wild, like a desert mirage Caught in the Hotel, no check out at the lodge (Yeah, keep it coming, uh) In the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast She said, 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device' And in their eyes, there’s no surprise, everyone’s so enticed It’s the same old game, but the stakes have a new price (Verse, break it down now) As the night gets deeper, my thoughts get steeper Got to find a way out, but the nightman’s the keeper ‘Relax,’ he said, ‘You can never leave’, such a haunting decree But I won’t be deceived, got some tricks up my sleeve [Bridge: Flippin' the script] (Aye, listen up, huh) I’m scribblin' thoughts on the paper, not willing to caper Caught up in this hotel, it's like a dream with no waker Icy heart of the keeper, colder than the chamber's air I can feel the danger, but I'm dancing on the snare [Verse: Spin it] (Yeah, keep it movin', uh) Eyes on the prize, need an escape route Gotta break free, ain’t no time to hang about Whispers in the halls, beats knocking on the doors A hotel of rhymes and life’s hidden metaphors
