[Verse 1]
You come home wearing yesterday’s face
Mascara moons under tired eyes
Laptop light still burned in your brain
Fork in your hand
You forget to bite
You talk in bullet points
Numbers and calls
Dream in deadlines
Meetings and walls
Your name on their screens all night
Your blood on their clock till sunrise
[Chorus]
They don’t deserve you breaking
They don’t deserve your spine
You give them all your daylight
They keep stealing your mind
I see the overtime in your eyes
Love
I see the overtime in your eyes
Let me cut that cord
Before it cuts your life
[Verse 2]
Sunday’s just a weekday in disguise
Phone face-down but it still screams
You laugh
Say “it’s nothing
I’m fine”
While your hands shake pouring coffee and cream
You wear that lanyard like a chain
Pretend that raise can buy back pain
But I watched you forget your own name
Staring at the mirror like a stranger
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I’ll call you in sick for a year
Pull the plug on every fear
Let the inbox drown in dust
Baby
Choose you
Choose us [crescendo]
[whispered vocals] Let it fall
Let it fail
Let their world go pale
Just breathe
Just bleed
All this poison out of your veins
[Chorus]
