Mundane

Verse 1

I fell down, didn't feel like getting up, So I stayed with my head in the clouds.

Staring up at the sky for a sign, Reaching out for a dream that ain't mine.

Hands grasp nothing but air and regret,

Bleeding time that I'll never get back.

Verse 2

Time I'm stealing from everyone else,

Time that never belonged to myself.

Makes me selfish in ways I can't see,

Greedy chains that I forged onto me.

Holding on just to hold myself back,

Every step feels like how I collapse.

Pre-Chorus

Pain—yeah, it knows me well,

Sharp as death, cold as hell.

Twisting life until it breaks,

Turns the normal into end-of-days.

Chorus

Drowning in the grief and fear,

Same days echo year to year.

Caught inside this endless maze,

Stuck inside my mundane days.

Verse 3

Mama called, I let it ring again,

Six missed calls stacked up in my head.

She don't know the version I've become,

Smiling in the photos, going numb.

Everybody asks me how I've been,

I just say I'm working, say I'm fine.

Verse 4

Fine is just a word I learned to wear,

Zipped up like a jacket in the air.

Truth is I've been sleeping through the light,

Trading every morning for the night.

Mirror shows a stranger in my skin,

Wondering where the kid I was went.

Pre-Chorus

Pain—yeah, it knows my name,

Burns the same but I take the blame.

Twisting life until it breaks,

Turns the normal into end-of-days.

Chorus

Drowning in the grief and fear,

Same days echo year to year.

Caught inside this endless maze,

Stuck inside my mundane days.

Bridge

If I let go, would anybody notice,

Would the room just keep on spinning slow.

If I let go, would anybody notice,

Would the ceiling be the last thing that I know.

(Would anybody notice)

(Would anybody notice)

Chorus

Drowning in the grief and fear,

Same days echo year to year.

Caught inside this endless maze,

Stuck inside my mundane days.

Outro

I'm still here, I'm still here,

Treading water in the quiet.

I'm still here, I'm still here,

Maybe that's enough tonight.

(Still here)

(Still here)
