The Commute Songtext
von Indricity

Every day, the alarm goes off
The room lights up, the system′s switched on
Morning runs without a thought
Keys in hand, out the door

Breakroom stories, and traffic news
Just the usual dead ends, with different views
Lower my head and grind my teeth
Call it progress, rinse, repeat

Say it's fine, just close my eyes
Count the cost and call it life

I′m still in drive, and not going far
In the same old lanes with the same old cars
Brake lights red, the engine drones
I'm alive, but I'm breaking down

Fluorescent lights and flat screens
A clock that won′t move, it just stares at me
Eight more hours I′m boxed in here
Back into the commute, same lanes again


Say it's fine, just close my eyes
Count the cost and call it life

I′m still in drive, and not going far
In the same old lanes with the same old cars
Brake lights red, the engine drones
I'm alive, but I′m breaking down

Tomorrow never comes
Living like it's yesterday
Tomorrow never comes
Just replaying yesterday
Tomorrow never comes
Every day′s just yesterday
Tomorrow never comes
I keep ending up yesterday


I'm still in drive, and not going far
In the same old lanes with the same old cars
Brake lights red, the engine drones
I'm alive, but I′m breaking down
I′m still in drive, and not going far
In the same old lanes with the same old cars
Brake lights red, the engine drones
I'm alive, but I′m breaking down
