Brain on Pause (Lost and High)

Verse 1
Lost my job, now I’m lying here,
Fueling rage, but the path ain’t clear.
I want my brain to shut off, just let me go,
But why am I still here? I don’t even know.

Chorus
Why am I still here?
When all I want’s to disappear.
High to numb the fight inside,
Lost in smoke, nowhere to hide.

Verse 2
Thoughts keep spinning like a broken reel,
Can’t find the switch, can’t find the feel.
Lying still but my mind’s on fire,
Burning up with every desire.

Chorus
Why am I still here?
When all I want’s to disappear.
High to numb the fight inside,
Lost in smoke, nowhere to hide.

Bridge
Can’t shut it down, it’s on repeat,
Every thought a drum, a beat.
Searching for silence, but it won’t come,
Just another night, feeling numb.

Outro (soft & fading)
I want my brain to shut off,
But why am I still here?
