An All Drained Mind [Nordic Discord Challenge]

[Verse 1] Wake up, same war, same losing fight, Coffee cold, nerves shot, vision flickers white. New school chaos, papers on the floor, My kid’s got homework I’ve checked ten times before. My job’s a cage with a neon glow, Running on fumes and I’ve got nothing left to show. [Pre-Chorus] But I keep on walking, Though my pulse is shallow — Every step I take, Feels like the cracks will follow. [Chorus] The power of my mind is all drained, Trying to stay upright though my circuits are strained. Laughing through the burnout, screaming through the ache, Dancing in the fallout just to keep from a break. Yeah a mind with no spark left, Still the world keeps spinning like it’s all perfect. [Verse 2] Clock hits afternoon, my fuel runs dry, Work’s a circus ring exploding in my mind. Smiles all plastic, patience worn thin, Trying not to snap at the state my life is in. Home again — same routine, same grind, Holding loose threads of a tired-overloaded mind. [Pre-Chorus] But I keep on moving, Even split in two — Running on empty, But I still push through. [Chorus] The power of my mind is all drained, Trying to stay upright though my circuits are strained. Laughing through the burnout, screaming through the ache, Dancing in the fallout just to keep from a break. Yeah a mind with no spark left, Still the world keeps spinning like it’s all perfect. [Bridge] If I crash tonight, let the pieces land, I’ve been hauling mountains no one understands. But even in the ruins, even running low — I rise through the smoke, ’cause it’s all I know. [Final Chorus] The power of my mind is all in a fade, Standing in the ashes of the mess I’ve made. Laughing through the burnout, screaming through the ache, Dancing in the fallout so I don’t break. Yeah, my mind is all in a fade but I still stand, A worn-out soul still fighting with a shaking hand.
