Broken Trails

Yeah,

left the dust behind

Now we're chasing the light

(checking the clock)

Packed my heavy bags and boarded that flight Hyderabad behind me in

the middle of the night

Land of opportunity, but nothing here is free

Master's degree,

working past three

Sinking into debt,

chasing after visas Ninna nedu reyi kalalu chasing like a fever (ha)

Jobs came and went,

rejection in the mail

Every single door closed,

destined to fail

Wanted to spin the tracks,

play the local scene But politics and gatekeepers blocked the whole dream

Switched back to tech,

startup grinding all day Need to send the money home,

find another way

Pranam petti gelavalane aasa

Manase

dooramaindi, ontari prayanam Still I gotta stand tall,

no more hesitation

No space for love,

keeping hearts under lock No time to break,

I'm just watching the clock

I'll fight through the pressure,

I'll rise from the dust (yeah) In this stubborn heavy heart,

it's the only thing I trust

Family on my shoulders,

got to keep the peace Paying off the loans while the worries

only crease Every single dollar counted,

living in the gray

Unspoken tears through the screen every day

Nallani ratrulu, infinite struggles

Lost my early youth inside these corporate tunnels

But the fire in the spirit hasn't faded to gray

No more running away

(no more)

Pranam petti gelustha We're gonna make it through today
