Control Eludes

[Verse] Trapped in my mind, piano keys wander Sax plays my sorrow, life feels somber Watching my days like film projector reel Shadow on the wall, can’t grab the wheel [Verse 2] Woke up in chaos, storm brews every corner Steppin’ through the motions, feel like a foreigner Trumpet blares agony, drums hit like thunder Head in the clouds, feet stuck in the under [Chorus] Life slips by, a ghostwriter to the plot Heartbeat syncopated, jazzed up, I'm caught Observer in my saga, can't seize control Soul’s a sideline witness to this endless scroll [Bridge] Gotta break free, but jazz keeps improvisin’ Notes scatter in the night, dreams keep risin’ Every riff, every bar, struggle in symphony Harmony escapes me, just another infamy [Verse 3] City lights flicker, reflections in the puddle Walking through my script, madman in the muddle Bassline heavy, burdens draggin’ me down Masked in the music, wearin' sorrow’s crown [Chorus] Life slips by, a ghostwriter to the plot Heartbeat syncopated, jazzed up, I'm caught Observer in my saga, can't seize control Soul’s a sideline witness to this endless scroll
