[Verse 1]
Alarm on my cracked phone, buzzing in my skull
Same boots by the front door, same coffee going dull
Boss name on the screen again
I ghost him, let it ring again
Grey cloud in a subway car
Scrolling through a life that isn’t ours
I see my face in the window smear
Mouths move, but I can’t hear
[Chorus]
(I’m not your number) I’m not your shift
I’m not your small talk, forced fake grin
Through this cheap megaphone I scream
I’m done, I quit your quiet dream
(I’m not your Monday) I’m not your plan
I’m not that “maybe someday” man
Through this cheap megaphone I scream
I’m broke, I’m loud, I’m finally me
[Verse 2]
Clock out, take the long way, gravel in my shoes
Backpack with a notebook, three songs and bad news
Mama said “be grateful, boy”
But I was born to break the toys
Cut my tie in a restroom stall
Heart racing like I robbed a mall
Walk out in my faded tee
First deep breath that tasted free
[Chorus]
(I’m not your number) I’m not your shift
I’m not your small talk, forced fake grin
Through this cheap megaphone I scream
I’m done, I quit your quiet dream
(I’m not your Monday) I’m not your plan
I’m not that “maybe someday” man
Through this cheap megaphone I scream
I’m broke, I’m loud, I’m finally me
[Bridge]
Paper crown on a paycheck king
I set that throne on fire, sing
If this is all I ever own
At least the voice is mine alone (yeah)
[Chorus]
(I’m not your number) I’m not your shift
I’m not your small talk, forced fake grin
Through this cheap megaphone I scream
I’m done, I quit your quiet dream
(I’m not your Monday) I’m not your plan
I’m not that “maybe someday” man
Through this cheap megaphone I scream
I’m broke, I’m loud, I’m finally me
