[Intro] [clean chorused electric guitar, fretless bass, drum kit with active hi-hats] [Verse 1] [female vocals] Sucked down in a vortex no one can break free when they are blind to it's reality It always moves in circles Its hard to believe Its working just like it's meant to be working No one can just leave It exists because no one believes the longer you wait the harder it will be until the vortex becomes your destiny [Chorus] We can't cry on the pavement we don't want to look like that theres no safety in the city we are no different than the stray cats the longer you wait the harder it will be until the vortex becomes your destiny All I know is the vortex will never let us go We could spend the whole life Sucked up in this vortex day and night [Verse 2] Try as you want But you can run but you won't flee Try as you will It's presented as serenity it is offered as a breathing place We are in this thing together this sorry human race the longer you wait the harder it will be until the vortex becomes your destiny [Bridge] [bass guitar solo with melodic fills] resist resist the vortex They want you to be their clay resist resist the vortex though there's a price to pay either way [Outro] You're stuck down in a vortex And you cannot break free Every time you come around it circles to your destiny the longer you wait the harder it will be until the vortex becomes your destiny it's working its working its working you can't leave It works because you refuse to believe [guitar and bass fade out] Words and music by Maryam El Sherif 2026 Flying Eggs Music
