[Verse 1]
Alarm clock venom
Dripping in my veins
Scroll through emails
Like they’re ball and chains
Coffee like a bath
I’m drowning in the cup
Smile for the scanner
Just to watch my soul clock in again
[Chorus]
Cut my day in half
I’ll still suffer
Every paycheck tastes like rubber
Pop my heart like a bubble in the gutter
(pop, pop, pop)
Pop punk dreams on a break room table
Stapled to a name tag
“barely stable”
I’m too loud for these beige-ass fables
(pop, pop, pop)
[Verse 2]
Fluorescent ceiling
Buzzing in my skull
Boss says “we’re a family”
Guess I’m the bull they pull
Dead plant on the desk
Wilting like my gut
Every “quick sync” feels
Like another paper cut
[Chorus]
Cut my day in half
I’ll still suffer
Every paycheck tastes like rubber
Pop my heart like a bubble in the gutter
(pop, pop, pop)
Pop punk dreams on a break room table
Stapled to a name tag
“barely stable”
I’m too loud for these beige-ass fables
(pop, pop, pop)
[Bridge]
I’m not your soldier
Not your savior
I’m not a line
On your behavior chart
Clock out the venom
Wash it off in the bath
Circle a date
When I don’t come back
[Chorus]
Cut my day in half
I won’t suffer
Spit that fear out
Feel it stutter
Pop my badge
Let it fall in the gutter
(pop, pop, pop)
Pop punk heart on a kitchen table
Writing my escape in broken cable
I’m too real for these beige-ass fables
(pop, pop, pop)
