[Intro – fast hi-hats roll in, voice already clipped and urgent]
Yo, tired as fuck, but sleep said “nah”
Body bankrupt, mind runnin’ the block, let’s go—
[Verse 1 – rapid, no pauses, breathless]
Eyes bleedin’ red from the screen all day, yawns cut deep but they never stay
Drag through the hours like I’m chained to the floor, coffee hit zero, still beggin’ for more
Clock punch out, stumble home in the dark, legs jelly, brain screamin’ “park”
Hit the mattress hard, pray for the fade, but the thoughts avalanche, no barricade
Replays every L, every word I choked, every goal I ghosted, every promise I broke
Heart racin’ triple, sweat on the sheets, mind doin’ laps while my body retreats
Toss, turn, curse, flip the pillow cold, countin’ sheep? Nah, countin’ how I’m gettin’ old
3 a.m. glow from the phone in my grip, scrollin’ regrets like a permanent trip
Tomorrow’s comin’ fast, I ain’t ready to face, another zombie day in this endless race
[Chorus – hook snaps quick, repeatable, shoutable]
No off switch! No off switch!
Tired all day but the brain won’t quit!
No off switch! No off switch!
Lying in bed but the demons don’t sit!
No sleep, no peace, just the loop on repeat
No off switch—I’m trapped in the beat!
[Verse 2 – even faster, words tumbling, double-time flow]
4:12 tickin’, ceiling fan mockin’ my pain, blades spinnin’ circles like my fucked-up brain
Try breathin’ deep, meditation apps lied, thoughts still crashin’ like a suicide ride
Shoulda, coulda, woulda on infinite spin, every mistake playin’ double again
Body screamin’ “rest,” but the head says “run,” marathon of worry till the risin’ sun
Oklahoma quiet, cicadas shut up, only my pulse poundin’ like a backup
Eyes burnin’ fire, lids heavy as lead, but the second they close, flashbacks in my head
No dreams, just static, no blackout, just fight, dawn creepin’ in like a thief in the night
Alarm slaps me awake, I’m already cooked, another day draggin’ the same tired look
Exhausted warrior, no victory lap, just prayin’ tonight I finally collapse
[Chorus – double up the energy, layered ad-libs]
No off switch! (No off switch!)
Tired all day but the brain won’t quit! (Won’t quit!)
No off switch! (No off switch!)
Lying in bed but the demons don’t sit! (Don’t sit!)
No sleep, no peace, just the loop on repeat
No off switch—I’m trapped in the— (beat!)
[Outro – slow the tempo just a hair, voice cracking, fading into reverb]
Still can’t… still can’t…
No off switch…
Tired… forever tired…
(beat drops out, only hi-hats ticking into silence)
