The siren calls of the mundane life
Where days repeat and they're filled with strife
It's your old friend, it's routine's curse
You find safety in the same old verse
The city's hum is a lullaby
But it taunts us with a restless lie
Break the chains of the daily grind
Find the world that's waiting, undefined
Under flickering lights in this dim-lit room
Feeling like a ghost in the dawning gloom
The echoes of the past and the shouts of now
Trap us in the present, but we'll make it somehow
In the soft embrace of the familiar place
Where the shadows dance and the dreams are erased
It's a cozy little prison that we settle in
But we're chained to the comfort and the comfort's thin
Ungrateful kids and a nagging wife
I guess this is your little slice-of-life
Just remember it could get much worse
Even though you're going in reverse
Under flickering lights in this dim-lit room
Feeling like a ghost in the dawning gloom
The echoes of the past and the shouts of now
Trap us in the present, but we'll make it somehow
In the soft embrace of the familiar place
Where the shadows dance and the dreams are erased
It's a cozy little prison that we settle in
But we're chained to the comfort and the comfort's thin
