Lyrics

I punch the clock at nine, same old grind, same old cage
Serving coffee, fake a smile, trapped inside this endless maze
I used to dream of open roads, of skies to call my name
Now I'm drowning in their odors, and it all feels just the same
I wish things were different, wish I could break free
But these walls are closing, and they're suffocating me
No one's waiting at my door, just silence in the dark
I'm screaming in my head, but it never leaves a mark
Clocked in, clocked out, I'm fading in the gray
Wishing I was someone else, wishing I could run away
Some days I don't wanna live, just wanna close my eyes
Stuck in this nine to five, I'm suffering in silence
The customers keep talking, their voices blurred and noise
I nod and pour the lattes, but I'm breaking with no voice
My apartment's cold and empty, no one's there to hold me tight
Just a bed that feels like prison when I lie awake at night
I wish things were different, wish I could rewrite
The story of this lonely heart that's fading in the fight
No one sees the tears I hide, no one hears the pain
I'm trapped inside this cycle, and it's driving me insane
Clocked in, clocked out, I'm fading in the gray
Wishing I was someone else, wishing I could run away
Some days I don't wanna live, just wanna close my eyes
Stuck in this nine to five, I'm suffering in silence
I see their posts on X, all their perfect lives in bloom
While I'm stuck here counting minutes in this fluorescent tomb
A stranger's laugh, a fleeting glance, it's all that keeps me here
A spark that says, keep going though, I'm drowning in my fear
Clocked in, clocked out, I'm fading in the gray
Wishing I was someone else, wishing I could run away
Some days I don't wanna live, just wanna close my eyes
Stuck in this nine to five, I'm suffering in silence
For the dreams I left behind, for the roads I'll never roam
For the silence that's my shadow when there's no one waiting home
Clocked in, clocked out, I'm holding on tonight
Maybe there's a spark out there to pull me to the light
