Midnight Oil

(Verse 1) Clock's ticking faster, night's growing colder, Chasing dreams, but they just seem bolder. Caffeine's my crutch, in this endless toil, Burning the midnight oil. (Pre-Chorus) Every hour a sacrifice, every minute feels like vice, Caught in this cycle, losing sight of my soul's voice. Pushing harder, losing control, Burning the midnight oil. (Chorus) Burning the midnight oil, till the break of dawn, In this relentless quest, feeling so withdrawn. Trading sleep for ambition, paying the toll, Burning the midnight oil. (Verse 2) Striving for success, but at what cost? Counting the days, all feeling lost. The candle-light flickers, but I can't recoil, Burning the midnight oil. (Pre-Chorus) Every heartbeat echoes, every breath feels shallow, Trapped in this hustle, feeling hollow. Sacrificing peace for ambition's spoil, Burning the midnight oil. (Chorus) Burning the midnight oil, till the break of dawn, In this relentless quest, feeling so withdrawn. Trading sleep for ambition, paying the toll, Burning the midnight oil. Sacrificing peace for ambition's spoil, Burning the midnight oil. (Chorus) Burning the midnight oil, till the break of dawn, In this relentless quest, feeling so withdrawn. Trading sleep for ambition, paying the toll, Burning the midnight oil. (Bridge) In the silence of the night, whispers in the dark, Echoes of a distant fight, tearing at my heart. But still, I press on, fueled by my desire, Burning the midnight oil, feeding the fire. (Verse 3) Time keeps slipping, dreams out of reach, Yet, I persevere, lessons hard to teach. In the quiet moments, where shadows coil, Burning the midnight oil. fueled by my desire, Burning the midnight oil, feeding the fire. (Verse 3) Time keeps slipping, dreams out of reach, Yet, I persevere, lessons hard to teach. In the quiet moments, where shadows coil, Burning the midnight oil. (Bridge) In the silence of the night, whispers in the dark, Echoes of a distant fight, tearing at my heart. But still, I press on, fueled by my desire, Burning the midnight oil, feeding the fire. (Verse 3) Time keeps slipping, dreams out of reach, Yet, I persevere, lessons hard to teach. In the quiet moments, where shadows coil, Burning the midnight oil. (Pre-Chorus) Yearning for a glimpse of dawn's embrace, Seeking solace in this endless race. But in the solitude, I find turmoil, Burning the midnight oil. (Outro) As the stars fade into morning's hue, I'll keep chasing dreams, though they may seem askew. For in the depths of night, amidst the turmoil, I'll keep burning the midnight oil. (ending of song) (Pre-Chorus) Yearning for a glimpse of dawn's embrace, Seeking solace in this endless race. But in the solitude, I find turmoil, Burning the midnight oil. (Outro) As the stars fade into morning's hue, I'll keep chasing dreams, though they may seem askew. For in the depths of night, amidst the turmoil, I'll keep burning the midnight oil. (ending of song)
