Lyrics
Intro - Clock ticking, glitch sounds, fragmented melody

**[Verse 1]**
I looked at my phone, it said 3 PM
Blinked my eyes, now it's 4 again
Where did the hour go, where was I?
Nobody else noticed, nobody asks why
My colleague says "that joke you told at 3:30"
I don't remember speaking, don't remember anything
Check my texts, there's messages I never sent
Check my calendar, there's meetings I never went
---
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Am I losing my mind?
Am I losing time?
Every single day
An hour slips away
---
**[Chorus]**
The lost hour, the lost hour
Where do I go when I'm not here?
The lost hour, the lost hour
Who am I when I disappear?
Sixty minutes of my life
Gone without a trace or a sign
The lost hour, the lost hour
Am I living two lives at one time?
---
**[Verse 2]**
I set up cameras all around my room
Watched the footage, there's a moment consumed
The screen goes black for exactly one hour
Even technology can't capture this power
I tried to stay awake, I tried to catch it
But when it comes I just go automatic
People tell me things I said and did
But I'm a stranger to the life I lived
---
**[Pre-Chorus]**
Am I someone else?
Do I need help?
Every single day
I drift away
---
**[Chorus]**
The lost hour, the lost hour
Where do I go when I'm not here?
The lost hour, the lost hour
Who am I when I disappear?
Sixty minutes of my life
Gone without a trace or a sign
The lost hour, the lost hour
Am I living two lives at one time?
---
**[Bridge - vocals glitching, time-skip effects]**
What if I'm doing things I would never do?
What if the lost hour me isn't really true?
What if I'm dangerous when I'm not aware?
What if the real me is the one that's never there?
pause - clock stops
Today the hour lasted two
Tomorrow it might be you
---
**[Final Chorus - desperate, fragmented]**
The lost hour, the lost hour
I'm afraid of who I might become
The lost hour, the lost hour
When the missing time is done
Sixty minutes turned to three
What is happening to me?
The lost hour, the lost hour
Set me free, set me free
---
**[Outro - clock ticking backwards, voice fading]**
[spoken, distant] I'm watching the clock
It's 11:59
Just one more minute
And I'll be gone again
[whispered] Where do I go?
Where do I go?
**[End - clock strikes midnight, abrupt silence]**
