🌏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👽🎶🌤️

(Verse 1)
I work all week just to break back even,
Fall asleep late and wake up grievin’.
They say I’m young and should feel alive—
But I’m countin’ the hours just tryin’ to survive.

⸻

(Verse 2)
Coffee and prayers, I line ‘em up each day,
Bills on the table, and dreams in decay.
I smile when I’m asked how I’m doin’ alright—
But I’m losin’ my fight in the middle of the night.

⸻

(Chorus)
O Sisyphus, my brother, every hope is uphill.
Push and heave with all your will.
Run all you want just to keep still—
While the Crimson Queen sells the blue pill.

⸻

(Verse 3)
They told me work hard, and doors would open,
But I’ve been knockin’ till my hands are broken.
Success feels more like a trick of the light,
Just outta reach, no matter the fight.

⸻

(Verse 4)
I’m not lazy, I’m just worn down thin,
Tryin’ to start over again and again.
If freedom’s real, then show me the proof—
‘Cause this don’t feel like no living truth.

⸻

(Chorus)
O Sisyphus, my brother, every hope is uphill.
Push and heave with all your will.
Run all you want just to keep still—
While the Crimson Queen sells the blue pill.

⸻

(Bridge)
She don’t use chains—just deadlines and screens,
Feeds you a dream through digital means.
And before you know it, your soul’s on lease,
Tradin’ your fire for a moment of peace.

⸻

(Chorus)
O Sisyphus, my brother, every hope is uphill.
Push and heave with all your will.
Run all you want just to keep still—
While the Crimson Queen sells the blue pill.

⸻

(Chorus – final)
O Sisyphus, my brother, don’t let go,
We carry that stone ‘cause we still say “no.”
The climb is cruel, but we still feel—
And we ain’t buyin’ her numbing deal.
