[Verse]

Up we go in this cage of steel

Dreams are heavy the struggle is real

Got my hopes wrapped tight in a bag

Life's a broken elevator dragging a sag

[Verse 2]

Buttons pressed but we're stuck on the floor

Motivation posters lie no more

Faces turned to the skies above

Searching for a sign or a shove

[Chorus]

Don't feed me lines of hope and cheer

In this box where we face our fear

Failures stack up like floors above

Enough with fake resilience love

[Verse 3]

Walls of metal echo our plight

In this trap we feel no light

Move too slow to reach the top

Is it courage or just a flop

[Bridge]

We climb high but never fly

Promises fade we're passing by

In this cramped and tired place

Life be nimble it's a race

[Chorus]

Don't feed me lines of hope and cheer

In this box where we face our fear

Failures stack up like floors above

Enough with fake resilience love
