[Gradual Build Intro]
(electric guitar and bass notes climbing — no full band yet)
I need something more than a quiet life...

[Verse 1]
(clipped, restless delivery — impatience barely contained)
Weapons hung like drying clothes
Aching for a polish
And keep the rust away
My mind aches at
This simple life
Need an escape
A dungeon to crawl

[Haunting Pre-Chorus]
(vocals terse, rhythmic — spoken-sung register)
This life is killing me by degrees
I need a way out, my path aflame
Before I waste away

[Chorus]
(explosion of full band — vocals terse and impatient)
Justify my time
Don't let my skills go to waste
Justify my time
This town life ain't my pace
Just justify my time
So I can show the world
Just what I can do
Just -
Justify
My
Time

[Verse 2]
(opens up — she's not looking at the walls anymore, she's looking outward)
Out there, roads I haven't walked
Monsters no one's named yet
Waiting on a blade
Cities holding their breath
For someone who shows up
Unafraid
I can hear it
*(hear it)*
I can feel the call
*(feel the call)*
All I need is one door
And I'll find them all

[Haunting Pre-Chorus]
(staccato, spoken-sung — building urgency)
This life is killing me by degrees
I need a way out, my path aflame
Before I waste away

[Chorus]
(fuller than the first — hunger rising)
Justify my time
Don't let my skills go to waste
Justify my time
This town life ain't my pace
Just justify my time
So I can show the world
Just what I can do
Just -
Justify
My
Time

[Defiant Bridge]
(band drops to a single pulsing beat — voice hard and certain)
I'm done waiting on a sign
Done asking if the time is right
No one handed them their glory
*(glory)*
No one's handing me mine
I'm not asking anymore
*(anymore)*
Watch me
Walk
Out
This door

[Build]
(instruments stack back in — electric guitar ascending)

[Chorus]
(fullest version — no longer a demand, a declaration)
Justify my time
Don't let my skills go to waste
Justify my time
This town life ain't my pace
Just justify my time
So I can show the world
Just what I can do
Just -
Justify
My
Time
*(my time)*
*(my time)*

[Outro — Driven, Resolute]
(beat strips to kick and voice — then silence)

[End]
(spoken, flat and certain)
I'm already gone.
