The Monthly Grind

Lyrics

[Verse]
Beneath the same moon, the train's chugging tracks
Suitcase worn thin, wallet's got cracks
Every month I’m riding, same cursed trail
Journey’s a repeat, feels like a slow jail

[Verse 2]
Bangalore's lights hum, neon stings my eyes
Hot air grips tight, city wears no disguise
Half my paycheck gone in tickets and pain
My back screams loud, the seat cuts my frame

[Chorus]
Don’t know why I run, but I still hit the road
Each mile’s a question I can’t decode
Hurt in my pocket, it gnaws at my pride
But here I am chained to this monthly ride

[Bridge]
What’s the destination when the map’s unclear?
Chasing some meaning, but it’s nowhere near
I’m rolling, I’m grinding, young but old
Purpose feels distant, my soul turns cold

[Verse 3]
Pavement greets me, it don’t care to ask
Why I bear the weight of this invisible task
Dreams on hold, lost keys to the door
Each trip takes a piece, leaves my heart on the floor

[Verse 4]
Pocket's hemorrhaging bad, bank balance on flame
Dad's voice echoes faint, calling out my name
Is this life or a loop I’m scared to dismantle?
Burning my time, life’s a flickering candle
