Endless Papers

[Verse] Late night bruises from the screen's dull glow Coffee stains future faded on the oak Walled in by the words that don't seem to flow [Verse 2] Chewed up pencils doubts scatter like dust Dreams of freedom crushed beneath the thrust Pages torn by deadlines void of trust [Chorus] Caged in theory caged in thought All this knowledge can't be bought Sanity slipping answers caught [Verse 3] Soul searching deep but can't find a trace Mind's a maze no exit place Questions echo in this endless race [Bridge] Data numbers stats suffocate Climbing ladders made of weight Promises broken in the late [Verse 4] Wonder where the meaning hides Behind these walls where hope resides Shackled still by endless tides
