[Intro] Wake up to a glowing screen Before the dream is gone First hit of the day is certainty That something else is going on [Verse 1] Coffee strong and headlines loud Opinions served like pills We chase the rush of being right The thrill of winning little battles That never pay the bills [Pre-Chorus] They say it’s just the modern way Just keeping up to speed But every fix comes with a cost We’re trained not to read [Chorus] We’re all chasing everyday highs Legal, casual, socially approved Small addictions in disguise Nothing heavy, nothing rude But envy’s got a sugar taste And greed feels clean and smart Till you realize they’ve been Running laps around your heart [Verse 2] Scrolling lives we’ll never live Comparing breath by breath Measuring our self-worth By somebody else’s depth [Pre-Chorus] They call it motivation They call it drive But tell me why it feels like We’re never really alive [Chorus] We’re all chasing everyday highs From the numbers to the shine Needing more to feel just fine Crossing lines we drew in time Envy whispers “you deserve” Greed replies “take more” And suddenly the soul’s for sale Behind a well-lit door [Bridge] Nobody deals on street corners Nobody hides in the rain These drugs come dressed as progress And sign their name as gain [Build] It’s not the phone Not the cash Not the praise Not the grind It’s the hunger to be ahead That’s eating us alive [Final Chorus] We’re all chasing everyday highs But the comedown’s always due You can feed the fire inside Or let it burn through you Maybe freedom isn’t wanting more Or winning every part Maybe it’s learning when to quit Before the poison hits the heart [Outro] Some drugs don’t ruin your body They just rent your mind
