Trapped in the Maze

Breaking free from the rat race

Trapped in this life, can't break free
From the rat race, can't you see?
Work and bills, stress and woes
We're just pawns in this game, who knows

Can't escape the cycle, it's true
We're stuck in this maze, what to do?
We're told to chase the American dream
But it's just a trap, or so it seems

We're all just trying to survive
But it's hard to stay alive
When you're stuck in this game
And you can't find your way out of the maze

We're told to hustle and grind
But it's hard to keep up with the mind
We're all just trying to make ends meet
But it's hard to find a seat

So let's break free from this trap
And create our own path
Let's live life on our own terms
And never again be caught in this life that we can't get away from.
