Suffocating

Verse
In the city of neon lights, where dreams go to die,
There's a constant battle, beneath the midnight sky.
Deadlines keep creeping, like a shadow on my back,
Responsibilities piling up, like an avalanche attack.

Pre-Chorus
I'm running on this treadmill, feeling trapped within,
Chasing a mirage, as the walls are closing in.
Suffocating in the grind, my spirit starts to fade,
This soul-killing routine, it's a cruel charade.

Chorus
Oh, these deadlines tear me apart,
They're like daggers piercing through my heart.
Responsibilities, they weigh me down,
I'm suffocating, about to drown.

Verse
Lost in a sea of paperwork, drowning in despair,
Life passing me by, it feels so unfair.
Every tick of the clock, a reminder of my fate,
Slave to the system, it's a never-ending debate.

Pre-Chorus
I'm running on this treadmill, going nowhere fast,
Dreams turned to ashes, buried in the past.
Caught in the web of monotony and despair,
Is there a way out? Does anyone care?

Chorus
Oh, these deadlines tear me apart,
They're like daggers piercing through my heart.
Responsibilities, they weigh me down,
I'm suffocating, about to drown.

Bridge
I refuse to be a cog in this machine,
I'll break free, find a life that's clean.
No longer bound by the chains that hold,
I'll reclaim my soul, I'll be bold.

Guitar Solo

Chorus
Oh, these deadlines tear me apart,
They're like daggers piercing through my heart.
Responsibilities, they weigh me down,
I'm suffocating, about to drown.

Outro
No more living on this treadmill, my spirit will revive,
I'll chase my dreams and break these chains that bind.
No longer a victim of this soul-sucking toll,
I'll rise above the grind and reclaim my soul.
