[Verse 1] Woke up with a clock in my palm Red hands, ticking in my veins, felt wrong Dialed back, 10 years, one breath Found my past self hiding from the test Pulled the F out his trembling fist Signed his name right, fixed that risk Watched his eyes light up in the dark Thought, yeah, I just gave him a spark (ha) Jump cut, blink, new street, new slang My old school’s glass, chrome, gang tags Best friend’s face on a cop car ad Guess he never failed, never met my ass [Chorus] I keep turning back the time, but the future’s getting stranger Every little fix I make just mutates into danger Thought I’d clean my mess, change my fate, make it better But I broke the line, now I’m stuck with timeline terror Timeline terror, glitching every era Step to the past, and the path gets narrower Tried to make it right, now I’m running from my errors I broke the line, now I’m stuck with timeline terror (hey!) [Verse 2] Jump again, basement, dust, old screen Typed “don’t call her,” hit delete on a dream Stopped that text that wrecked her night Saved her heart, kept my pride in sight Bounce forward, city feels off-key Her face on a billboard, she’s a queen on TV But her smile’s too sharp, eyes like stone Guess a softer heartbreak made a harder throne Every change like a stone in glass Shards in the floor of my future path Fam don’t know me, key don’t fit My home’s a condo, my room don’t exist [Chorus] I keep turning back the time, but the future’s getting stranger Every little fix I make just mutates into danger Thought I’d clean my mess, change my fate, make it better But I broke the line, now I’m stuck with timeline terror Timeline terror, glitching every era Step to the past, and the path gets narrower Tried to make it right, now I’m running from my errors I broke the line, now I’m stuck with timeline terror [Bridge] [Beat drops to half-time, distorted vocal chop echoes “rewind”] Hit rewind, it hits back harder See my shadow at the start of the starter Every version of me in a circle of smoke Pointing fingers like, “You’re the joke” Can’t go forward, can’t go back Every door I open folds into black Guess the worst mistake I ever designed Was thinking I could babysit time (time, time) [Chorus] I keep turning back the time, but the future’s getting stranger Every little fix I make just mutates into danger Thought I’d clean my mess, change my fate, make it better But I broke the line, now I’m stuck with timeline terror Timeline terror, glitching every era Step to the past, and the path gets narrower Tried to make it right, now I’m running from my errors I broke the line, now I’m locked in timeline terror (woah)

rap, High-energy hybrid: trap drums stacked with electro swing brass stabs and glitched synth arps, distorted punk guitars on the downbeat. Male vocals flipping between rapid-fire rap and shouted hooks; verses tight then explode into an anthemic, chantable chorus. Robotic vocal chops answer key lines; bass growls harder in the final chorus for a chaotic, time-warped climax., electro, punk, electro swing
