[Lyrics] First song - "Lost and Found" (feedback appreciated)
I rewrote an old song I originally wrote a few years ago. I'm not a performer—I just enjoy writing lyrics. I'd really appreciate honest feedback on the storytelling, flow, imagery, and anything you think could be improved.
Verse 1
Feelin' lost, have no direction
Tryna hide the pain, my heart's heavy
Can someone pass that hard-hitting bevvy
Chasing my vices like they're devices
Strugglin' to find the reason to fight
But I won't give up, I won't back down
Gonna keep pushin' till I see some light
Chorus
I'm living fast, but I'm dying slow
I'm chasing highs, but I'm feeling low
I'm searching for a way to breathe
But I'm stuck in this mess
I'm just looking for relief
Verse 2
I'm feeling lost, can't find my way
The pain inside, I'm always gonna pay
Like life's shooting arrows through my veins
I turn to drugs, just to numb the pain
I see the world, but it's all a blur
I'm drowning in my thoughts, searching for a cure
I try to reach out, but no one's there
I'm all alone in this nightmare
Chorus 2
I'm living fast, but I'm dying slow
I'm chasing highs, but I'm feeling low
I'm searching for a way to breathe
But I'm stuck in this mess
I'm just looking for relief
I'm living fast, but I'm dying slow
I'm chasing highs, but I'm feeling low
I'm searching for a way to cope
But I'm stuck in this cycle, I can't let go
I know I need to change my ways
But it's hard to break these chains
I'll keep on fighting, day by day
Until I find a better way
I'm living fast, but I'm dying slow
I'm chasing highs, but I'm feeling low
I'm searching for a way to cope
Verse 3
Can someone pass me the spliff
Always thought withdrawals was a myth
Damn, this is hell
Please stop ringing that damn bell
Maybe not chasing that high
Just wanna make my thoughts go by
Mamma always told me not to cry
Why won't you just let me die?
Chorus
I'm living fast, but I'm dying slow
I'm chasing highs, but I'm feeling low
I'm searching for a way to breathe
But I'm stuck in this mess
I'm just looking for relief
Verse 4
All I know, I need to find a way
All day, always
There's gonna be better days
Living in pain
Sitting in vain
Man, I'm sitting here in a daze
Trying to navigate that maze
Chorus
I'm living fast, but I'm dying slow
I'm chasing highs, but I'm feeling low
I'm searching for a way to breathe
But I'm stuck in this mess
I'm just looking for relief
I'm living fast, but I'm dying slow
I'm chasing highs, but I'm feeling low
I'm searching for a way to cope
But I'm stuck in this cycle, I can't let go
I know I need to change my ways
But it's hard to break these chains
I'll keep on fighting, day by day
Until I find a better way
Outro
Still finding roads I haven't walked
Still chasing thoughts I haven't caught
Maybe tomorrow brings some light
Till then I'll keep showing up to fight
