Timeclock Cage
rock, Aggressive modern punk rock with female vocals; tight overdriven guitars and fuzzy bass on a fast, punchy kit. Verses stay tense and close with palm-muted chugs and raw, slightly overdriven lead vocal; choruses explode into open chords, wide gang shouts, and bright stacked harmonies. Short half-time shouted bridge strips back to drums and bass, then a final full-speed chorus slam with extra ad-libs and held outro note., female vocals, vocal, punk, bright, raw

Lyrics
Wake up
Same ache
Grey light
Burnt taste
Name tag
Dead smile
“How ya doing?” “I’m fine”
Clock in
Gut twist
Break room
Bad chips
Boss talk
Fake laughs
Heart screams
“I hate this”
I’m stuck in this timeclock cage
Chewed up by a dead-end wage
Bite my tongue till it bleeds on the page
There’s no way out
There’s no way out (hey!)
I’m chained to the same old day
Sell my nerves for a little pay
Every breath says run away
But there’s no way out
There’s no way out
Fluorescent sunburn
Eyes dry
Brain burned
Swallow that comeback
Shake hands
Stay “polite”
Bathroom stall
Deep breath
Scroll hope
See debt
Can’t quit
Can’t crash
Rent due
I’m trapped
I’m stuck in this timeclock cage
Chewed up by a dead-end wage
Bite my tongue till it bleeds on the page
There’s no way out
There’s no way out (oh yeah)
I’m chained to the same old day
Sell my nerves for a little pay
Every breath says run away
But there’s no way out
There’s no way out
I can’t break
I can’t bend
Can’t see past
Month’s end
I can’t scream
I just grin
They cash out
My skin
I’m stuck in this timeclock cage
Chewed up by a dead-end wage
Bite my tongue till it bleeds on the page
There’s no way out
There’s no way out (hey!)
I’m chained to the same old day
Sell my nerves for a little pay
Every breath says run away
But there’s no way out
There’s no way out
(there’s no way out)
