Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Fridge door framed with tape and magnets Big bold letters Color code the day Check boxes begging for a simple answer But the pens keep walking away Soccer cleats in the kitchen sink Backpack graveyard by the door I’m yelling “Did you even look at the list?” They say “We did”… and nothing more [Chorus] It’s a chore list nightmare Every line unchecked I’m a broken record Talking to myself “Make your bed Feed the dog Clear your plate” But the boxes stay bare And I’m losing faith Yeah Chore list nightmare Hanging on the wall I write it all down They don’t read it at all [Verse 2] Sticky notes stuck on the bathroom mirror “Brush your teeth Lights off at ten” They draw mustaches on my instructions Laugh and run right past them again Floor’s a minefield of socks and LEGOs Laundry mountain Same old song I’m praying for a single scribbled check mark Just one kid proving me wrong [Chorus] It’s a chore list nightmare Every line unchecked I’m a broken record Talking to myself “Make your bed Feed the dog Clear your plate” But the boxes stay bare And I’m losing faith Yeah Chore list nightmare Hanging on the wall I write it all down They don’t read it at all [Bridge] One day you’ll miss this mess (you will) That’s what all the old folks say But right now I’d take one quiet morning And a list that goes my way (just once) [Chorus] It’s a chore list nightmare Every line unchecked I’m a broken record Talking to myself “Make your bed Feed the dog Clear your plate” But the boxes stay bare And I’m losing faith Yeah Chore list nightmare Taped up crooked and small Maybe someday they’ll sign their names Till then I’m checking them all (hey!)

rock, Crunchy indie-alt groove with rootsy electric guitars, loose live drums, and warm organ pads. Verses stay half-spoken, close-mic male vocals with dry tone; choruses bloom into raspy, soulful belting and stacked “hey!” gang shouts. Bass walks and pushes the pocket; bridge strips to vocal, tambourine, and organ swell, then band crashes back in for a big, shout-along outro., soul, roots rock, alternative rock, indie rock
