Caught in the cycle, chasing fleeting highs
Hedonic treadmill, master of disguise
Promises of joy, elusive and sly
Yet in the end, it's just a cruel, sweet lie
In the quest for pleasure, we always lose our way
A momentary high, and then it fades away
Round and round, we go again
Yearning for bliss, but it's all in vain
The treadmill spins, it's a ruthless game
A hollow pursuit, it's always the same
Imbalance
Adaptation
Equilibrium
Repeat
The echoes of desire, never-ending beat
Hedonic treadmill, relentless feat
Consuming our souls, beneath its deceit
Round and round, we go again
Yearning for bliss, but it's all in vain
The treadmill spins, it's a ruthless game
A hollow pursuit, it's always the same
Imbalance
Adaptation
Equilibrium
Repeat
The echoes of desire, never-ending beat
Hedonic treadmill, relentless feat
Consuming our souls, beneath its deceit
