Lyric

Coffee stain on my collar

Screen glow burned in my eyes

Stared too long at the numbers

Forgot what blue sky looks like

I’ve been running in circles

Baby

Chasing ghosts in a paper maze

Thought I’d find my future somewhere

All I found was another long day

So I’m kicking off these shoes

Let the heavy thoughts slide

I’m clocked out of my mind tonight

Just wanna feel alive

Keys drop down on the counter

Bag slumps onto the floor

Mirror shows me a stranger

Who gave everything and more

I’m so tired of the tight shoulders

Heart stuck in a traffic jam

Every promise I made this morning

Turned to dust in my trembling hands

So I’m loosening my hair

Let the lipstick stay inside

I’m clocked out of my mind tonight

Breathing for the first time

Cold takeout on the table

Phone buzzing by my bed

Friends asking if I’m coming

I just shrug and shake my head

I’ve been saving the world for nothing

Can’t remember what it’s for

If success feels like this empty

Why am I knocking on that door?

So I’m turning off the noise

Let the quiet be my guide

I’m clocked out of my mind tonight

Learning how to be kind

Shower steam on the window

Mascara starts to run

Wash away all the deadlines

Till I feel like anyone

I’ve been dancing with my own shadow

Begging it to let me be

Every checkmark on that list

Took another piece of me

So I’m wrapping up my body

In this blanket like a shrine

I’m clocked out of my mind tonight

Body

Soul

And spine

What if I don’t pick it up tomorrow? (Oh)

What if I just walk slow?

Could I lay this armor down

Leave the grind out in the cold?

If I never earn their praise

Will my heartbeat sound the same?

Can I love the girl who’s left

When I step out of the game?

Bare feet on the cool kitchen tile

Street sounds fading far away

Whispering my name so gentle

Like I made it through the day

I’m clocked out of my mind tonight

No more dragons left to fight

Just a tired

Tender woman

Letting herself be light
