[Verse]
Clock screams at me 4AM
Dark outside dark in my head
Shovel my soul into the machine
Nothing left of what I’ve been
[Prechorus]
Chains around my neck so tight
Breathe in oil breathe out spite
[Chorus]
The grind eats me alive
Swallow whole no piece survives
The grind eats me alive
Why even try why even fight
[Verse 2]
Boss barks orders faceless man
My knuckles crack my skin’s a brand
Break my back for a paycheck lie
Punch the clock while I die inside
[Chorus]
The grind eats me alive
Swallow whole no piece survives
The grind eats me alive
Why even try why even fight
[Bridge]
Steel walls closing crushing me
No escape no light to see
Scream in silence rage in chains
My blood my sweat their gain
