Jaded

**Verse 1:** Yeah, I’ve been feeling jaded, life’s got me frustrated, Walking through the shadows, dreams gettin’ faded. Used to have a vision, now it’s all complicated, Heart feeling heavy, soul saturated. Used to see the world through rose-colored glasses, Now I’m just surviving, ticking off the classes. Lost in the shuffle, drowning in the masses, Chasing after peace, but time, it just passes. **Chorus:** Jaded, I’m faded, the light, it’s degraded, Once was elated, now I’m feelin’ invaded. Jaded, I’m shaded, my hope’s dissipated, Looking for salvation, my mind’s barricaded. **Verse 2:** Remember when we dreamed under the moonlight, Plans for the future, everything seemed right. Now I’m stuck in traffic, caught in the fight, Searching for a spark in this endless night. Friends turning foes, and love’s growing cold, Trust getting shattered, stories left untold. Life’s heavy burden, the lies I’ve been sold, Trying to find my way, but the road’s uncontrolled. **Chorus:** Jaded, I’m faded, the light, it’s degraded, Once was elated, now I’m feelin’ invaded. Jaded, I’m shaded, my hope’s dissipated, Looking for salvation, my mind’s barricaded. **Bridge:** But I won't be defined by the weight on my shoulders, Rise from the ashes, heart growing bolder. Searching for the light, even as it smolders, Breaking through the chains, becoming a soldier. **Verse 3:** Gonna find my way, clear through the haze, Reignite the fire, set my soul ablaze. Breaking down the walls, stepping out the maze, Living life anew, turning a new page. Hope on the horizon, faith in my stride, Leaving all the pain, setting it aside. No more jaded nights, with nowhere to hide, Gonna spread my wings, in the light, I’ll confide. **Chorus:** Jaded, I’m faded, but now I’m elevated, Once felt invaded, now I’m liberated. Jaded, I’m shaded, but my hope’s reinstated, Found my salvation, my soul’s celebrated. **Outro:** Yeah, I’ve been jaded, but I’m not defeated, In the end, it’s my spirit that’ll be completed. Rising from the dark, no longer conceited, Living in the light, my journey unseated.
