Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Alarm at seven Same cracked mug, burnt toast Check my phone, lose ten more minutes Miss the bus, swear at the coast Coffee in a paper cup Clock-in code like a barcode on my wrist Stare through glass at another gray meeting Wonder when I signed up for this [Chorus] We spent our lives for nothing Just running that wheel, running that wheel Wake up, wake up from the loop This can't be real, can't be how it feels Throw out the script you were handed Let that old blue screen go black We spent our lives for nothing I want my seconds back [Verse 2] Traffic jam, half-baked thoughts Talk in circles, type and delete Walk back home on auto-pilot Keys in the bowl, shoes at my feet Sit down, screen light on my face Can's hissing open like it owns my name Laugh at stuff I don't find funny Let the day die doing the same [Bridge] What if we Turn it off tonight Step outside the glow See each other in real light What if we Pour the bottles down the sink Call our friends, call our parents Say the things we really think (hey!) [Chorus] We spent our lives for nothing Just running that wheel, running that wheel Wake up, wake up from the loop This can't be real, can't be how it feels Rip up the ad in your head Let the old dead noise fall flat We spent our lives for nothing I want my seconds back [Chorus] We spent our lives for nothing But I'm done just drifting, done standing still Wake up, wake up from the loop Let's change this world, bend it to our will Start with one small morning Step outside, don't look back We spent our lives for nothing Now we want our seconds back

rock, Raw indie rock band, medium tempo with driving drums and fuzzy rhythm guitars; tight bassline glued to a kick that pushes the verses forward. Male vocals, slightly raspy, close-mic’d in the verses; choruses open up with doubled vocals and shout-along gang backups. Second guitar adds wiry lead lines in the chorus, bridge pulls the energy down to almost spoken word over toms and droning chord, then explodes back into a final hook., world, sleep, indie rock
