Lyrics

Verse

Badge scan at midnight, the turnstile hums

Breaker room heartbeat, counting what it becomes

Clock says double time, my hours don't add

City sleeps easy off the shift that I had

Fluorescent halo where the ceiling should be

Wired for the current, unplugged from me

Timecard punched red, I'm the ghost on the line

Keeping the grid lit while my own light declines

Pre-Chorus

Who clocks the clock keeper

Who counts what's owed

Streetlights on my shoulders

Down every road

Chorus

Grid without sleep

Current keeps rising

Debt I can't keep

Grid without sleep

City stays lit

While I sink deep

Verse

Forklift echoes down a concrete hall

Twelve years counted, still ain't cleared it all

Overtime promised like a rain that won't fall

Numbers on the paycheck, shadow on the wall

My son sleeps easy under sodium glow

Never knows the hours that make the current flow

Every breaker I flip is a year I don't get

Powering dreams that I ain't cashed in yet

Pre-Chorus

Who clocks the clock keeper

Who counts what's not shown

Streetlights keep burning

On streets I don't own

Chorus

Grid without sleep

Current keeps rising

Debt I can't keep

Grid without sleep

City stays lit

While I sink deep

Bridge

No badge, no line, just the hum in my chest

Every current I feed keeps somebody else's rest

I built the light that never finds my door

Still I flip the switch, still I count the score

Chorus

Grid without sleep

Current keeps rising

Debt I can't keep

Grid without sleep

City stays lit

While I sink deep
