In the grip of empty pages
The ink is dry
Pens scratch out
A tale where ambitions lie
Clocks tick on in mocking tones
Empty echoes fill my bones
Chained to desks in silent rows
Where the stifled spirit goes
Caught in the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
Walls close in with each critique
And each command
Ideas die unborn
In the barren no-man's land
Feedback loops spin minds
Caught in a tight vise
Promises break like glass
Dreams deferred, paying the price
Spinning wheels, burning out
Voices raise, begin to doubt
Break the cycle, crack the code
Burst the bounds, hit the road
Caught in the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
Shadowed halls echo
With the whispers of the lost
Dreams calcify in corners
Frosted with the cost
Silent sentinels stand guard
Over ideas once free
Locked away in ivory towers
Thrown away the key
Spinning wheels, burning out
Voices raise, begin to doubt
Break the cycle, crack the code
Burst the bounds, hit the road
Caught in the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
In the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
Caught in the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
In the grip of empty pages
The ink is dry
Pens scratch out
A tale where ambitions lie
Clocks tick on in mocking tones
Empty echoes fill my bones
Chained to desks in silent rows
Where the stifled spirit goes
Caught in the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
Walls close in with each critique
And each command
Ideas die unborn
In the barren no-man's land
Feedback loops spin minds
Caught in a tight vise
Promises break like glass
Dreams deferred, paying the price
Spinning wheels, burning out
Voices raise, begin to doubt
Break the cycle, crack the code
Burst the bounds, hit the road
Caught in the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels

Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
In the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
Caught in the drafts and the doldrums
Fighting through the fog and the fears
Words weigh heavy on the night's hum
Hopes spin idle in forgotten wheels
