"While I Was Gone"

Male Voices, Experimental free improvisation, Cutting-edge, Polished, Explosive, Angry, Harsh Noise, Doom Metal, Raw

(Verse 1)
Clocked in early, stayed too late,
Breaking my back just to fill my plate.
Every dime, every drop of sweat,
Trying to build something I won’t regret.

(Pre-Chorus 1)
But while I was grinding, out on my own,
Somebody else made my house their home.
Kicked in the door, took what they pleased,
Left me nothing but dust and debris.

(Chorus)
I work all week just to come back home,
To find out a thief made my life their own.
Blood in my knuckles, rage in my veins,
Everything’s gone but the bills remain.

(Verse 2)
TV’s missing, drawers ripped out,
Tracks in the carpet, they walked around.
Took my savings, took my pride,
Left just enough to laugh inside.

(Pre-Chorus 2)
I gave my hours, gave my life,
For someone else to claim my prize.
The locks don’t matter, walls can’t keep,
When the world’s just waiting to watch me bleed.

(Chorus)
I work all week just to come back home,
To find out a thief made my life their own.
Blood in my knuckles, rage in my veins,
Everything’s gone but the bills remain.

(Bridge 1)
They took my time, they took my trust,
Left me drowning in the dust.
Sweat for nothing, break for free,
Tell me what the hell's left of me?

(Verse 3)
Called the cops, they don’t care,
Just another file in the air.
Insurance won’t pay, the fight ain’t fair,
I’m back at zero, gasping for air.

(Bridge 2)
Worked for years, lost in a night,
Chasing dreams, losing the fight.
If life’s a game, it’s rigged to lose,
While the thief gets paid, I pay my dues.

(Breakdown)
They even took my electric lawn mower,
But forgot the batteries—what a joke.
If you’re gonna rob me blind,
At least take the damn thing whole.

(Final Chorus - Extended)
I work all week just to come back home,
To find out a thief made my life their own.
Blood in my knuckles, rage in my veins,
Everything’s gone but the bills remain.
I sweat, I break, I bleed, I bend,
But the thief still wins in the end.

(Outro)
Lights stay on, rent's still due,
But my world got robbed while I paid my dues.
