Hours That Vanished
Opens with a manic polka bounce—bright accordion melodies, tuba-like bass, snappy snare, stomping claps, rapid two-step pulse, and wild crowd shouts. Suddenly erupts into experimental rock: jagged, detuned guitars, stop-start drums, feedback surges, unpredictable tempo shifts. Grime elements charge in with deep sub-bass, nervy hi-hats, half-time breaks, icy synth stabs, and aggressive vocal interplay. Male vocals slide between rhythmic talk-singing and snarled grime flows, boosted by gang shouts

Lyrics
Intro
(Where'd it go?)
Verse 1
Woke up with glitter in my teeth
Clock says nine, but it feels like weeks
Pockets full of tickets I don't own
My phone is warm, but I'm still alone
I pass my friends like strangers in a frame
They say my name like it isn't my name
I laugh too loud, then I bite my tongue
Something got cut, something got undone
Pre-Chorus
There's a hole in my reel
Like a film burn, unreal
Everybody saw it but me
Chorus
Missing time, missing time
Like a thief in the daylight, it stole my mind
Missing time, missing time
If I blink, I'm somewhere else in the line
Tell me who I was when the minutes went blind
Missing time
Verse 2
Receipts for drinks I never tasted
A bruise on my rib, perfectly placed
A melody stuck in my head on loop
Like a marching band in a riot suit
I check the mirror for a clue
My eyes look back like they been through
A basement show and a courtroom too
I swear I left, but I never knew
Pre-Chorus
There's a gap in the beat
Where the truth should meet
All I got is static and heat
Chorus
Missing time, missing time
Like a thief in the daylight, it stole my mind
Missing time, missing time
If I blink, I'm somewhere else in the line
Tell me who I was when the minutes went blind
Missing time
Bridge
Polka steps on broken glass
Grime bass makes the memories pass
Guitars scream in a spiral stair
Somebody's laughing in my ear
Say it plain, don't romanticize
I lost an hour, I lost my eyes
I lost the proof, I lost the why
I lost myself, then walked on by
Final Chorus
Missing time, missing time
Hands on the clock like a gang sign
Missing time, missing time
Cut the tape, let the truth rewind
Tell me who I was when the minutes went blind
Missing time
