Grind

Grind (Broken Gears Cartoon Mix) [Verse 1] *(Alarm clock explodes, gears squealing, steam hissing)* Woke up to the clock screaming "RUN!" Another day, another war that can't be won I see my life slipping through my hands Like sand, like dust, like a ghost in the sun *(gear teeth snap, cartoon spring boings)* [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel it — the weight on your back? Can you hear it — the gears start to crack? We are nothing — cogs in a wheel Tell me, is this real? *(factory siren, wrench clatter)* [Chorus] I wanna feel the wind in my hair, Break free from this suffocating air! But the hands of the clock keep dragging me down, Told where to stand, told where to bow! I wanna live, to love, to breathe, But the gears keep turning, they’re crushing me! Caught in this cycle, can't you see? This life was never meant to be! (Grind, grind, grind… KA-CHUNK! SPROING!) GRIND! [Verse 2] *(coffee machine sputters, conveyor belt squeaks)* Can't remember the last time I slept Dreams feel like a luxury I never kept The world keeps turning, but I'm standing still Hands on the wheel, but I’ve lost my will *(rusted gear snaps, cartoon “bonk”)* [Pre-Chorus] Can you feel it — the weight on your back? Can you hear it — the gears start to crack? We are nothing — cogs in a wheel Tell me, is this real? [Chorus] I wanna feel the wind in my hair, Break free from this suffocating air! But the hands of the clock keep dragging me down, Told where to stand, told where to bow! I wanna live, to love, to breathe, But the gears keep turning, they’re crushing me! Caught in this cycle, can't you see? This life was never meant to be! (Grind, grind, grind… CRASH!) [Bridge] *(cartoon chain snaps, sparks fly)* Maybe there's a way... to escape this fate Maybe I can break... before it’s too late What if the chains were never real? What if the scars are how we heal? (And when the gears can’t hold, I go off the rails, A runaway train with a story to tell…) [Chorus] I wanna feel the wind in my hair, Break free from this suffocating air! But the hands of the clock keep dragging me down, Told where to stand, told where to bow! I wanna live, to love, to breathe, But the gears keep turning, they’re crushing me! Caught in this cycle, can't you see? This life was never meant to be! (Grind, grind, grind… BOING! WHIRRR!) The gears are broken, sparks and nails, The whole machine’s gone off the rails!
