Clock In A Tailspin

High-energy pop-punk and power-pop track characterized by a frantic tempo of approximately 165 BPM in the key of E major, The arrangement features distorted electric rhythm guitars playing palm-muted power chords in the verses and wide-open strumming in the choruses, A driving drum kit provides a relentless punk beat with heavy use of crash cymbals and rapid snare rolls, The lead vocals are male, energetic, and slightly nasal, typical of the genre, featuring rapid-fire delivery in the verses and melodic, anthemic belting in the chorus, Layered vocal harmonies and gang-vocal style shouts provide emphasis on key phrases, The production is polished and bright, with a prominent, punchy bass guitar following the root notes of the chord progression, The structure follows a standard verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus format, with a brief half-time breakdown in the bridge featuring cleaner guitar tones before building back into a final explosive chorus

[Chorus]
Time's in a tailspin spinning me around
Hands off the wheel as the minutes come crashing down
I'm stuck on fast forward can't find the stop
Riding this runaway clock till the circus pops
Hey! Hey! Hey! I can't catch my breath
Hey! Hey! Racing with regret
When every tick tick tick feels out of control
I'm just holding on to nothing as the hours roll

[Verse 2]
Lecture all blur, boss on my back
Faces in a slideshow I can never fully track
Promises like paper planes crumpled on the floor
Future on a sticky note taped to my door
I keep splitting myself into a thousand thin slices
Answering the phantom rings and vented crises
Five more minutes turns to five more days
Sleep-starved eyes and a mind in a maze
I see kids in the park moving slow like a dream
While I'm sprinting past them in a silent scream
Mum calls, I say later, then a month goes by
Every later is a layer in a landfill sky
I make plans I cancel while they're still being made
Blaming some invisible parade
Of seconds marching double time inside my chest
Like they're trying to age me out of my own life
If I pause, will it crush me?
All the things I've been outrunning
If I breathe, will it break me?
All the quiet I've been faking
I keep twisting every day into a debt
Can I be everywhere?

[Bridge]
Flashback, flicker, birthday candle
Slower laughter, long drives
Empty highways, summer lasted
Ever after, now it's rush, rush, rush
Till the colors smear
Who stole that lazy year?
Who pressed the hidden gear?

[Verse 1] Woke up already late Notification screaming like they're trying to break the glass Teeth brushed half-dressed trying to find my keys in a pile of my past Coffee in a paper cup spilling on my wrist Calendar a battlefield I never really picked Every little second like a fist against my door Every tiny promise turning into something more Than I can handle in a single breath I'm running red lights in my head Thinking if I move faster I can fake control But my heartbeat's glitching like a broken console Friends are dead, deadlines spread Sticky notes blooming in radioactive red I keep saying I'll slow down Then I scroll and I scroll till the sunrise barges in and calls me out [Chorus] Time's in a tailspin spinning me around Hands off the wheel as the minutes come crashing down I'm stuck on fast forward can't find the stop Riding this runaway clock till the circus pops Hey!
