가사
(Verse 1)
Used to chase the sunrise, paintin' dreams in gold
Dusty palette, rooftop view, a story yet untold
Scraped by on moonlight, sang for nickels on the street
But the rent don't pay itself, with passion hard to eat
(Chorus)
Traded in my brushes for a keyboard and a suit
Swapped the melody for spreadsheets, singin' now feels mute
Corporate cog, a tiny gear, lost in the machine
This ain't the life I craved, but keeps the bills from screamin'
(Verse 2)
Fluorescent lights my canvas now, deadlines mark the beat
Boss man's symphony of targets, leaves my rhythm incomplete
The fire in my belly's simmered down to office brew
But the phone still rings at 5 PM, what else can a dreamer do?
(Chorus)
Traded in my brushes for a keyboard and a suit
Swapped the melody for spreadsheets, singin' now feels mute
Corporate cog, a tiny gear, lost in the machine
This ain't the life I craved, but keeps the bills from screamin'
(Bridge)
Late nights at the office, overtime's my muse
Will the colors ever come back? Will I ever break these blues?
A flicker of a memory, a melody in the air
A whisper of the artist I was, trapped beneath this corporate snare
(Chorus)
Traded in my brushes for a keyboard and a suit
Swapped the melody for spreadsheets, singin' now feels mute
Corporate cog, a tiny gear, lost in the machine
This ain't the life I craved, but keeps the bills from screamin'
(Outro)
Maybe someday I'll escape, reclaim the life I knew
But for now, I'll tap this rhythm, even if it ain't quite true
A silent symphony in my soul, a promise I won't break
The artist's fire still burns, waiting for a chance to wake
