Steam On The Clock

Dusty lo-fi hip-hop loop with soft sidechain pump and warm vinyl hiss; lazy swung drums, round sub bass, and jazzy Rhodes chords, Male vocals, close-mic and intimate, sit just ahead of the beat, Hook opens with layered whispers and a subtle octave double, bridge strips to chords and rim clicks before final chorus blooms with airy harmonies and a gentle tape delay tail

[Verse 1] Keys on the desk Badge on a string Half-done emails Phone still rings Microwave blinking Tupperware stew But my head’s too loud I need something new [Chorus] So I’m showering on my lunch break Washing off the weekday weight Let the warm run long Let the world wait I got thirty little minutes to escape Steam on the clock Let the stress fade Showering on my lunch break [Verse 2] Sneakers by the stall Shirt on the hook Mirror got a version Of me I overbooked Let the water hit Forehead Eyelids Chin Watch a hundred tiny worries Circle the drain again [Chorus] Yeah I’m showering on my lunch break Washing off the weekday weight Let the warm run long Let the world wait I got thirty little minutes to escape Steam on the clock Let the stress fade Showering on my lunch break (oh) [Bridge] Timer on my phone Dripping on the tile I bargain with the seconds Just to breathe a while If they ask where I’ve been I’ll just say “I’m fine” (I’m fine) But I left a tired version Back there in the line [Chorus] I’ve been showering on my lunch break Washing off the weekday weight Let the warm run long Let the world wait I got thirty little minutes to escape Steam on the clock Let the stress fade Showering on my lunch break Showering on my lunch break (hey)
