Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Steel doors slam That’s my alarm clock Twelve-hour cage Same block Same lock B Unit again Same faces on the line Laugh at the wrong joke HR on my spine Keys on my hip But I feel half naked Nothing in my hands If a man goes apeshit Eyes on the corners Back to the wall If they rush the bubble Who’s catching the fall [Chorus] Same code Different day 10-99 I’m on my way Heart on edge But my face don’t say Same code Different day If I don’t laugh Then I might break Stress in my veins In this concrete maze [Verse 2] Radio hissing Names on the board Count time crawling I’m counting the doors Jokes in my head Make me smirk at the worst They think I’m twisted I just lived it in reverse Pressure in the wing Like a storm in a jar Boss talks safety From his leather chair far We walk the range Like it’s part of our pay Pray for a quiet one Still pack for the grey [Chorus] Same code Different day 10-99 I’m on my way Heart on edge But my face don’t say Same code Different day If I don’t laugh Then I might break Stress in my veins In this concrete maze [Bridge] Who watches the watcher When the lights cut out Who guards the guard When the rage gets loud I clock out the gate But it rides my brain Take the cage home Different walls Same strain [Chorus] Same code Different day 10-99 I’m on my way Heart on edge But my face don’t say Same code Different day If I don’t laugh Then I might break Stress in my veins In this concrete maze
