歌詞

Alarm still ringing in my skull

Tie half-knotted

Mind half-full

Stared at the screen till it stared back

Name on the task list

Buried in black

I gave today my every breath

Wore my smile down to a thread

If this is what they call success

Why do my bones feel like lead?

I’m walking home in my own head

I’m walking home in my own head

Lunch went cold on the paper plate

Skipped the sun

Stayed late at my gate

Eyes like sand

Throat like dust

Clock said “go

” but I chose “must”

Tell me what’s the prize I win

For trading daylight for the din

Hands keep turning

I stay still

Heart on mute

Chasing some bill

I keep on chewing through the hours

But all I taste are fading powers

Boss said “champ

” with a tired grin

Stacked more weight on the same old spin

Friends hit my phone

I let it ring

Typed “maybe next time” to everything

I’m too tired to celebrate

Too wired to sleep it straight

Head on the window of this train

Watching my breath draw little rain

If I disappear inside this grind

Will someone come and steal me back my time?

Keys at the door

But I just sit

Engine off

Mind won’t quit

Streetlight glow on the steering wheel

Only place I can almost feel (Hey)

I used to chase the sky

Not charts

Used to count songs

Not scars

Somewhere between the plans and pay

I misplaced my easy way

If I step out

If I step slow

Will the world still spin if I let go?

Tonight I’m clocking out for real

Hanging up this borrowed steel

Leaving my name at their front desk

Taking my pulse

Calling it “yes”

Today took almost all of me

But what is left is finally free

Shoes by the door

Floor feels kind

Screens all dark

Gentle quiet in my mind

I’ll give tomorrow what I can spare

But not the part that needs fresh air
