Nightmares Thrive

(Intro)
I wake up in the dark, feeling lost and alone
The city's asleep, but my demons are home
They whisper my name, like a cold winter's breeze
Reminding me of the struggles I've yet to seize

(Chorus)
This is a mad world, we're just tryna survive
Chasing our dreams, but the nightmares thrive
We're running in circles, tryna find our way
But the darkness surrounds us, every single day
Chasing our dreams, but the nightmares thrive
We're running in circles, tryna find our way
But the darkness surrounds us, every single day

*Verse 1*
I lost my brother to the streets, he was just 33, (RIP)
Caught in a system that ain't built for chasing dreams
Now his future's like a shadow, lost in the haze
Auntie’s tears fall like rain, every single day. (Rain)
Uncle NK left us long ago, now it's all on me
The weight of this family feels like chains
I'm searching for my purpose, tryna find my way

(Chorus)
This is a mad world, we're just tryna survive
Chasing our dreams, but the nightmares thrive
We're running in circles, tryna find our way
But the darkness surrounds us, every single day
Chasing our dreams, but the nightmares thrive
We're running in circles, tryna find our way
But the darkness surrounds us, every single day

*Verse 2*
I see the devil in the mirror, staring back at me
Whispering my failures, saying I’ll never break free
It’s like a battle in my mind, I’m caught in the storm
Fighting shadows of my past that keep taking new forms
But I won’t give up too, no, I can’t give in
Even with the odds stacked, I’ll find a way to win
Through the fire and the rain, I’ll rise above

(Chorus)
This is a mad world, we're just tryna survive
Chasing our dreams, but the nightmares thrive
We're running in circles, tryna find our way
But the darkness surrounds us, every single day
Chasing our dreams, but the nightmares thrive
We're running in circles, tryna find our way
But the darkness surrounds us, every single day
