Off the clock, God, I'm running to you
Rip my watch off, I'm so freaking sick of being nice
Off the clock, I'm so high I can't come down
They got the good girl, you get the animal tonight
"Sure thing," "no worries," "I'm fine," "all good"
Bit my tongue so hard that I tasted blood
Smiling so hard with a scream in my chest
One more "you're so sweet" and I'll rip off this dress
Then I see you waiting, red in the dark
Top down, I'm in, I can hear your heart
Hair down, skin hot, bite my lip, and now
Five, four, three, two, one
Off the clock, God, I'm running to you
Rip my watch off, I'm so freaking sick of being nice
Off the clock, I'm so high I can't come down
They got the good girl, you get the animal tonight
Off the clock! (Faster, faster, faster!)
Off the clock! (Burn it down!)
Slam the door shut, hope I shatter the glass
Murdered the good girl, she's not coming back
Every fake "I'm fine" is the fuel I burn
Thought I was tired, I'm a junkie for you
Foot to the floor and the city's a blur
I hit that corner and I lose my breath
Arching my back as you throw me around
Five, four, three, two, one
Off the clock, God, I'm running to you
Rip my watch off, I'm so freaking sick of being nice
Off the clock, I'm so high I can't come down
They got the good girl, you get the animal tonight
Off the clock! (Faster, faster, faster!)
Off the clock! (Burn it down!)
Late on the brakes, guardrail's a kiss away
Don't be gentle, I've been gentle all day
I don't wanna die, I just wanna come close
Crying and laughing, I'm flying with you
Off the clock, God, I'm running to you
Rip my watch off, I'm so freaking sick of being nice
Off the clock, I'm so high I can't come down
They got the good girl, you get the animal tonight
Off the clock, God, I wanna break something
I said "sorry" forty times, now make me scream all night
Off the clock, babe, I'm crying, I'm alive
I was a ghost all day, tonight I burn till I'm gone
Off the clock! (Faster, faster, faster!)
Off the clock! (Burn it down!)

OFF THE CLOCK
Project ZQQ
At Dad's party, in a dress I hated, I served his clients. A drink? "I'm fine." Dirty jokes? "Totally fine." Forty "sorry"s through a glued-on smile, tasting blood. One more "sweet girl" and I'd have torn this dress apart.
Last guest gone. Watch ripped off. Click. My time now. He waits in the dark, glowing red. I slide into his arms under open skies, his hot heartbeat at my back. Five, four, three, two, one.
Foot down, the city tears away. Every scream behind "I'm fine" is fuel now. The girl who nodded all night gives no ground. The guardrail, close enough to kiss. I don't want to die. Just to burn at the edge.
They only know the good girl. Only he sees the animal uncaged. No one to please, no fake smiles. I cry, laugh, sing, scream myself raw. My heart is finally mine. God, I'm alive.
A ghost all day, now I burn till I'm gone. Tomorrow they'll dress me as the good girl again. But every night I run back to him, no watch on my wrist. I'm most myself the second before I turn to ash.
