48 Hours in the Loop

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wake up Ceiling fan spins slow Phone screen blue Same old robe on the floor Brush teeth Mouthwash Cold tile Stare Breakfast at the counter One empty chair Step out Mailbox leans like before Neighbors dog barks Crack in the sidewalk Same spot Same door Sun falls News on in the background hum Blink once Suddenly the day is done [Chorus] Forty-eight hours in a looping cage (hey) Same cheap coffee Same toothpaste Every midnight brings that shadow near I keep running and I’m still right here Forty-eight hours on a ticking screen I know this place but it’s not my scene Every sunrise is the same mistake If I don’t break it It will never break [Verse 2] Night comes TV glow on my face Something in the hallway Hanging in the air like smoke and lace Shadow Standing at the bedroom door Heart hits Harder than it did before Jolt up Back in bed Same song Brush teeth Mirror whispers “you’re taking too long” Go outside Sky feels copied and pasted Midnight Shadow smiles like it’s tasted it [Bridge] Is it me Is it you Is it nothing at all Is it every little habit that became a wall If I change one word If I skip one step Will the clock crack open or reset [Chorus] Forty-eight hours in a looping cage Same cheap coffee Same toothpaste Every midnight brings that shadow near I keep running and I’m still right here Forty-eight hours on a ticking screen (oh) I know this place but it’s not my scene Every sunrise is the same mistake If I don’t move different I won’t escape [Chorus] Forty-eight hours in a borrowed life Same sharp toothbrush Same dull knife Every midnight Shadow pulls me close Says “you’re the answer and you’re the ghost” Forty-eight hours till the cycle snaps Till I burn this script Tear up the map Every heartbeat is a chance I take Got forty-eight hours left to wake
