GRIDLOCKED MONDAY Songtext
von Final Corners

Alarm screams, I hit delay
Coffee spills, I′m on my way
Engine starts, brake lights glow
Nothing moves, nowhere to go

Horn sounds like a broken song
Five minutes feels too long
Clock keeps laughing on my phone
I should've left this place alone

Every street feels like a wall
I′m already late, I feel it all

Stuck in traffic, burning time
Red lights stacked in a straight line
I'm late again, I know the tone
That look says "you're on your own"

Stuck in traffic, head on fire
Excuses sound so tired
I′m not careless, I′m not flawless
Just another morning forwardless


Office door, shallow breath
Boss looks up, counts my steps
"Be on time," same old line
Like I chose this traffic sign

Nods and notes, I take the blame
Swallow words I want to say
Tie feels tight, mind still loud
Morning wins, I back down

I bite my tongue, I fake a smile
Counting hours, counting miles

Stuck in traffic, burning time
Red lights stacked in a straight line
I'm late again, I know the tone
That look says "you′re on your own"

Stuck in traffic, head on fire
Excuses sound so tired
I'm not careless, I′m not flawless
Just another morning forwardless

Still breathing
Still moving

Stuck in traffic

Red lights stacked in

Stuck in traffic


Red lights stacked in
