Verse 1 Fluorescent buzz, taxidermy grin Maps on the wall curling in Coffee tastes like gasoline Sign the waiver, punch in clean Pre-Chorus They said don’t wander off the trail They said don’t answer when it wails Chorus Clocking in where the weird ones start Name on a badge, hand on a heart If this goes wrong, don’t act surprised We hunt the dark, we don’t ask why Verse 2 Flashlight shakes, boots too loud Every shadow feels endowed With intention, teeth, and lore We’ve heard these woods breathe before Chorus (repeat) Instrumental Break (Driving moog bass, cello playing descending 3-note motif, palm-muted guitar arpeggios building tension) Final Chorus Clocking in, no closing time Leave the proof, take what’s mine If it’s watching, let it stare We were warned — we’re still here
