Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Badge on my chest

Coffee on my shirt

Elevator’s crowded

Someone’s feelings hurt

Saw my boss counting seconds

Eyes like a punch clock tick

Whispers in the kitchen corner

Everyone’s a pundit

Slick

[Chorus]

I came back tired

But I’m still burning

Back on fire

Though my back is hurting

Yeah

This place pulls me down

But I keep learning

I came back tired

But I’m still burning

(still burning, still burning)

[Verse 2]

Old guy telling war tales

New kid scrolling feeds

Tiny little questions

Checking if I breathe

Every step a spreadsheet

Every thought a form

But somewhere in this crowded maze

I’m sketching my own storm

[Chorus]

I came back tired

But I’m still burning

Back on fire

Though my back is hurting

Yeah

This place pulls me down

But I keep learning

I came back tired

But I’m still burning

(still burning, still burning)

[Bridge]

If they break my day

They won’t break my name

I’ll take all this pressure

Turn it into flame

[Chorus]

I came back tired

But I’m still burning

Back on fire

Though my back is hurting

Yeah

This place pulls me down

But I keep learning

I came back tired

But I’m still burning

(still burning, still burning)

Style

indie pop-rock with a dryconversational lead vocal; tight drum groove and warm bass locked in. verses stay close and half-spoken over muted guitars; chorus explodes with bright chorused electrics and stacked “oh-oh” harmonies. short middle-eight drops to just vocal and rim-clicksthen a finaldefiant chorus.

Prompt
