[Verse 1]
Badge on my chest
Eyes still at home
Coffee tastes like rust
Scrolling through my phone
Fluorescent halo
Buzzing in my skull
Inbox like a landslide
Heart on empty, dull
[Chorus]
I’m clocked in, tapped out
Head loud, hands down
Everyone’s running, running
I just drag around
Trying to light that fire
But the fuse won’t stay
I’m here in the building
But my mind’s in escape
[Verse 2]
Boss speaks static
Mouth moves, I fade
Calendar’s a cage
Days bled into grey
Deadlines barking
I just bare my teeth
Smash my rage in drafts
Never hit “release” (nah)
[Chorus]
I’m clocked in, tapped out
Head loud, hands down
Everyone’s running, running
I just drag around
Trying to light that fire
But the fuse won’t stay
I’m here in the building
But my mind’s in escape
[Bridge]
[Dubstep-style breakdown, drums stutter and bass swells]
Glitch in my gut (hey!)
System overload (go)
Hit the bathroom mirror
“Stand up. Carry the load.”
Jaw tight, throat raw
Scream in the stall
If I can’t find drive
I’ll just crawl, just crawl (crawl)
[Chorus]
I’m clocked in, tapped out
Head loud, hands down
Everyone’s running, running
I just drag around
Trying to light that fire
In this hollow place
I’m chained to the hours
While my will fades away
