Echoes in the Maze

[Verse 1] Look, life’s a puzzle, missing pieces in the gutter, Walking through this maze, every step feels like a stutter. Dreams of peace on the horizon, but the skies, they only clutter, Wars outside, wars within, in silence, we shudder. Cost of living’s climbing, but my income’s on a freeze, Squeezing dreams between bills, life ain’t moving with ease. Media’s spinning tales, truth’s lost in the breeze, Got me doubting every word, like a disease. [Chorus] In the echoes of the past, I hear the laughter, I see the cast, Of all my friends, where did they go? The memories fade, but the feelings last. Sipping on nostalgia, but it’s bittersweet to taste, In a world that’s rushing forward, afraid I’m just a waste. [Verse 2] Addiction’s like a shadow, follows me through the night, Battling with my demons, but I’m tired of the fight. Every victory's pyrrhic, in the dawn's early light, Looking for a sign, a beacon, anything bright. Reminiscing on the days, when life felt right, Kicking back with old friends, under the streetlights. Now, time’s a thief, stole my peace, outta sight, In this life's library, I’m a book, too tight. In this life's library, I’m a book, too tight. [Chorus] In the echoes of the past, I find solace, I find contrast, Between who I was and who I’ve become, in this cast. Chasing shadows of myself, in a race that’s so vast, Looking for a future, where my present won’t be outclassed. Amidst the noise and the haste, We find our rhythm. Our unwritten lines. Like echoes in the maze. (Like echoes in the maze.) Amidst the noise and the haste, We find our rhythm. Our unwritten lines. Like echoes in the maze. (Like echoes in the maze.) [End] Like echoes in the maze, Echoes in the maze. Like echoes in the maze, Echoes in the maze. Echoes in the maze. [End]
