Intro:
In the ruins of the past,
Nothing ever seems to last,
Ancient cities, a faded lore,
Take me far from here, I implore.
Chorus:
I'm so tired of life, can't you see?
Sniffing cocaine just to feel free,
Smoking cigarettes to fill the void,
Teleport me to another world, avoid.
Verse 1:
Walking through these ancient streets,
Faded memories on repeat,
Echoes of a distant time,
Whispers of a life sublime.
Every breath becomes a chore,
Everyday I crave for more,
Lost in places never found,
Trapped in circles, spinning 'round.
Pre-Chorus:
Eyes closed tight, I dream away,
Hoping for another day,
Where the pain won't haunt my soul,
In that world, I’ll be whole.
Chorus:
I'm so tired of life, can't you see?
Sniffing cocaine just to feel free,
Smoking cigarettes to fill the void,
Teleport me to another world, avoid.
Verse 2:
In my mind, I see the skies,
Ancient temples, golden lies,
In this realm, I find my peace,
All my sorrows seem to cease.
But reality drags me back,
On this path, I lose my track,
Searching for a glimpse of light,
In the endless, starless night.
Pre-Chorus:
Eyes closed tight, I dream away,
Hoping for another day,
Where the pain won't haunt my soul,
In that world, I’ll be whole.
Chorus:
I'm so tired of life, can't you see?
Sniffing cocaine just to feel free,
Smoking cigarettes to fill the void,
Teleport me to another world, avoid.
Bridge:
Life’s a blur, a constant haze,
Trapped inside this endless maze,
Ancient echoes call my name,
In that world, it’s not the same.
Outro:
In the ruins of my mind,
Peace is all I hope to find,
Ancient cities, a whispered lore,
Take me far from here, I implore.
