(Verse 1)
Nineteen on the clock, yeah, I'm ticking away
Wonderin' what the future holds, what's the price I'll pay
Momma said, "Life's a game," but it ain't fair, you see
Dad just nodded, whispered, "Son, it's all on you and me"
(Pre-Chorus)
I got dreams in my pocket, fears in my head
Sometimes wish for simple days, tucked away in bed
But I'm here in the battlefield, where angels fear to tread
Oh, I wonder, yeah, I wonder, am I better off or dead?
(Chorus)
Life, oh life, you're a complicated maze
One foot out the door, and you set my world ablaze
A million questions, in my head they raise
But I'll keep on searchin' for the clearer days
(Verse 2)
Scrolling through my feed, see a smile, see a tear
Some people flaunting what they got, others shackled by fear
Everybody says "grow up," but what does that even mean?
Is it a nine-to-five cage, or the end of all my dreams?
(Pre-Chorus)
Life lessons coming fast, but they're hard to read
Got a diploma in my hand, but ignorance guaranteed
It's a world of contradictions, of love and avarice
One moment, you're on top, next you're down in the abyss
(Chorus)
Life, oh life, you're a complicated maze
One foot out the door, and you set my world ablaze
A million questions, in my head they raise
But I'll keep on searchin' for the clearer days
(Bridge)
Maybe life ain't a problem to solve
But a journey to take, where we evolve
From a boy to a man, from a seed to a tree
I'm not just a chapter; I'm my own damn story
(Chorus)
Life, oh life, you're a complicated maze
One foot out the door, and you set my world ablaze
A million questions, in my head they raise
But I'll keep on searchin' for the clearer days
(Outro)
Nineteen and confused, but I've got miles to go
Life's a twisted tale, but it's the only one I know
So here I stand, with hope as my guide
On this never-ending, winding, crazy ride
Life, oh life, you're the song I'll forever sing
A puzzle, a mystery, but you're my everything.
