[Intro] [Verse 1] Ceiling’s caving in Tastes like copper, smells like sin Jaw is locked and tight Swallowing the fluorescent light I see the exit glow Pulsing like a vertigo Chest is wired to trip Losing my professional grip [Pre-chorus] The oxygen is spent I’m paying for the air I rent One foot out the door I’m bolting for the floor [Chorus] I gotta bounce Cut the cord, renounce Every nerve says go Leave ‘em in the dust below Yeah I bounce Hit the street and sprint I don’t need a reason No trace, no print Bounce! [Verse 2] Plastic grins and grease Trading sanity for peace They start asking why I just let the questions die Stagnant, stale, and cold Doing exactly what I’m told Static on the wire Ghosting the empire [Bridge] Clocked out early Left the keys In the coffee Of the deputy I’m a shadow In the hall I’m not waiting For the call! [Chorus] I gotta bounce Cut the cord, renounce Every nerve says go Leave ‘em in the dust below Yeah I bounce Hit the street and sprint I don’t need a reason No trace, no print Bounce! [Outro] Watch me. I’m gone.
