Prompt / Lyrics
[INTRO – EARLY MORNING DREAD (20–30 SECONDS)] (Low drone) (Alarm clock buzzes, abruptly cut) (Distant industrial ambience) ⸻ [VERSE 1 – LOW, CONTROLLED GUTTURAL] Six a.m. and my bones already ache Punch the clock, give it more than I make Sun’s not up, but I’m already spent Trading hours for rent Hands cracked, lungs full of dust Smile for the boss like I still trust That this grind means something in the end Or at least keeps food for my friends ⸻ [PRE-CHORUS – RISING FRUSTRATION] I talk but it echoes back Like no one’s tuned to my wavelength I scream inside my chest But the world stays the same ⸻ [CHORUS – HEAVY, ANTHEMIC] I don’t want it all Just enough to breathe Enough so my people Don’t break like me My body’s decaying But my heart won’t quit I carry their names Every shift, every hit ⸻ [VERSE 2 – RHYTHMIC, BITTER DELIVERY] Four p.m. feels like survival, not peace Clock says freedom, body disagrees I’m aging faster than time should allow Feel it in my knees right now People talk over everything I say Like my words got minimum wage I’ve got dreams they never clock in Still punching out with nothing to spend ⸻ [EXTENDED BUILD – 25 SECONDS] (Chugs slow down) (Drums strip to kick and floor tom) (Distant vocal layer whispers: “still not enough…”) ⸻ [BREAKDOWN – HALF-TIME, STRIPPED AND REAL] (Long pauses between lines) CAN’T — AFFORD — REST WORK — THROUGH — DEATH HEAR — ME — NOW OR — NOT — YET ⸻ [MID-SECTION – SPOKEN / LOW GROWL] (Minimal instrumentation) All the things I wish I could borrow Are the things that would save me from sorrow Time Strength A little room to fail But debt don’t lend And life don’t wait ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS – EMOTIONAL PEAK] I don’t want fame I don’t want gold I want my people warm When the nights get cold If I break down At least it meant something I spent my life Keeping love running ⸻ [OUTRO – QUIET RESOLVE (20–30 SECONDS)] (Instruments slowly fade) (One sustained low note) I’m tired But I’m still here And that has to count
