Eli Rhodes - Oxygen Lyrics

[Intro]
Can't breathe, can't think, these walls closin' in
Poppin' pills just to feel somethin' again

[Verse 1]
Clock in, clock out, factory lights burnin' bright
Scribbling bars on receipts, stayin' up through the night
Mama's worried eyes follow me when I walk through the door
But she don't understand what I'm fighting for
Trapped in this cycle, minimum wage slave
While my dreams suffocate, man, I need to escape
These steel walls got me feeling like a cage
Every breath is a battle, every day's a new rage

[Chorus]
I just need some oxygen
This life got me boxed in
Popping pills to feel alive
While my soul slowly dies
I just need some oxygen
Watch these demons talkin' again
In this concrete prison cell
Heaven's just another hell

[Verse 2]
Marcus said "slow down, you're going too fast"
But he don't know shit about making this last
When every breath feels borrowed from death
And these pills are the only thing keeping me blessed
Night shift thoughts got me questioning life
While assembly lines move like a sharpened knife
Through the smoke and mirrors of this fake reality
Looking for something real, something to set me free

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder if I'll make it through
These thoughts so heavy, sky ain't even blue
But I keep writing, keep fighting, keep breathing somehow
Even when this world won't f*cking allow

[Chorus]
I just need some oxygen
This life got me boxed in
Popping pills to feel alive
While my soul slowly dies
I just need some oxygen
Watch these demons talkin' again
In this concrete prison cell
Heaven's just another hell

[Outro]
Can't breathe, can't think
But I'm still here on the brink
Of something beautiful or tragic
Either way, it's f*cking magic
