[Verse 1] Clock-in buzz Steel doors slam Coffee gone cold Same gray land They’re laughing loud In that glowing haze Wires in their ears Like they slipped the cage My pocket’s light No screen No sound Just keys that bite When they swing around They’re nodding heads Lost in some free song I walk these tiers Counting what’s wrong [Chorus] I’m on lockdown They’re on loud now Headphones high while I hold this ground I keep the line when the walls shake They chase a rhythm I don’t get to taste I’m on lockdown They’re on loud now Watching chaos circle like it’s all allowed If it blows I’m the one they blame I maintain order Inside this game [Verse 2] Tier lights flicker On A-block row Whispers sharpen Then a sudden blow Metal on bone Then a shouted name Cardboard castle Burst into flame Call it in quick “Get the doors to close” My chest kicks back Like a drum that knows Sirens in the hall Boots hit the floor Every heartbeat Pounds like a war [Chorus] I’m on lockdown They’re on loud now Headphones high while I hold this ground I keep the line when the walls shake They chase a rhythm I don’t get to taste I’m on lockdown They’re on loud now Watching chaos circle like it’s all allowed If it blows I’m the one they blame I maintain order Inside this game [Bridge] Who sings for me When the noise dies down When the bodies cool In this concrete town They get escape In a borrowed song I get the weight Of staying strong [Chorus] I’m on lockdown They’re on loud now Headphones high while I hold this ground I keep the line when the walls shake They chase a rhythm I don’t get to taste I’m on lockdown They’re on loud now Watching chaos circle like it’s all allowed If it blows I’m the one they blame I maintain order Inside this game
