Joyless Maze

V5

[verse 1] Planted down on the couch Phone glued to my hand Cannot move a muscle I just don’t understand Within my mind are multitudes Within me worlds, without end Imagination spanning stars But cloze apps to open them again [hit] [Chorus] Trapped in a cage made from me Stuck in loops insidious Malfunctions intra-crane-ee-ahl-ly Dopamine deficient paralysis I would rise like a falcon Conquer every obstacle If I were not grounded, bound Unable to move one bit at all [post chorus] Restrained, so strange In this Joyless Maze [Verse 2] Given the right stimuli My thoughts race off like squirrels Complex plots, master plans In moments come unfurled But once the shine wears from The newest world shaking plot Could be a genius, Or maybe I could just... not [hit] [Chorus] Trapped in a cage made from me Stuck in loops insidious Malfunctions intra-crane-ee-ahl-ly Dopamine deficient paralysis I would rise like a falcon Conquer every obstacle If I were not grounded, bound Unable to move one bit at all [post chorus] Restrained, so strange In this Joyless Maze [Interlude] Everyone gets a little stuck Wearing grooves in their current state But when it’s in the way of everything It turns so much self talk into hate I just want to get up and do The things of which I’m cay-puh-bull Could rearrange the world like a Rubik’s cube If I could just do any thing at all! [solo] [solo] [Verse 3] In another time and place I’d have thrived for my clan A hunting-gathering icon As I understand But in the 21st century I’m barely a worker bee A diesel truck stuck in first And no idea which way to steer [hit] [Chorus] Trapped in a cage made from me Stuck in loops insidious Malfunctions intra-crane-ee-ahl-ly Dopamine deficient paralysis I would rise like a falcon Conquer every obstacle If I were not grounded, bound Unable to move one bit at all [post chorus] Restrained, so strange In this Joyless Maze [solo] [solo] [Reprise] Restrained, so strange In this Joyless Maze [closing] [closing] [close]
