[Intro]
Sitting back, badge in hand, just doing what I can
A title that I wear, but nobody's really there
[Verse 1]
Clock ticks slow, feeling trapped in this small town
Uniform snug, like a shell, pulling me down
I got a badge and a gun, but I’m motionless and dull
Wishing I could run, but I’m just sitting still, feeling null
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a lonely kind of day, hidden behind this mask
Hiding in plain sight, no need to ask
[Chorus]
I’m at work with a badge and a gun, but I’m just sitting on my ass
Feeling like a turtle in this shell, wishing I could pass
Stuck in this uniform, feeling caught in a trance
Longing for a break, a little chance to dance
[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll break free, leave this behind
Find a new energy, a different kind
Til then I’ll just wait, with patience and grace
Listening to the silence of this quiet place
[Outro]
Badge and gun, but my spirit's on the run
Turtle in the shell, till my workday's done
Waiting for the moment when I can be free
Till then I’ll just sit here, just being me
