[Verse]
Every door locked by Peretz tight
The keys lost in the endless night
Rules so strong they bend my will
A quiet heart but it won’t sit still
[Verse 2]
The cook is lazy the meals are cold
Dreams of warmth begin to fold
They chase the dorm they prize so high
But my spirit fades beneath this sky
[Chorus]
Oh
This place it pulls me down
A heavy heart in this broken town
Seeking meaning but finding ache
In this maze of choices I didn’t make
[Bridge]
They preach of light but shadows fall
On these locked doors and narrow halls
Do they see the cracks in their control
Or care for the weight upon my soul
[Verse 3]
An undefined path but I must walk
In whispers void they never talk
Not of us not of the pain we hide
Just the things that stroke their pride
[Chorus]
Oh
This place it pulls me down
A heavy heart in this broken town
Seeking meaning but finding ache
In this maze of choices I didn’t make
