Back Breaker Blues

[Verse 1]
Alarm screams
Spine screams louder
Steel-toed boots
By the cold shower
Same old shirt
Still stained red
Clock in, clock out
Just wreck my head
Boss man barking
“Pick it up, move faster”
Every heavy crate
Writing one more fracture
Back bent
Like a question mark
Why I gotta drag this weight
Till it gets dark
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna go back
To that back breaker blues
Four walls and my bad thoughts
Beat their way through
I just wanna stay home
Wear the floor with my shoes
Lay my bones in this bed
Till the hurt can’t move
I don’t wanna go back
To that back breaker blues
[Verse 2]
Coffee can’t cut
Through the muscle ache
Paycheck hits
Then it slips, then it breaks
They say “grind hard
That’s just life”
Cool, you trade your days
I’ll keep mine
Got a list on the fridge
Of the things I’d do
If I wasn’t hauling pain
Just to scrape on through
I’m sick of rust in my lungs
Dust in my teeth
All I want is one week
I can finally breathe
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna go back
To that back breaker blues
Four walls and my bad thoughts
Beat their way through
I just wanna stay home
Wear the floor with my shoes
Lay my bones in this bed
Till the hurt can’t move
I don’t wanna go back
To that back breaker blues
[Bridge]
[Dubstep-style breakdown hits, vocals chopped and glitched]
Break my back
Break my soul
(break it, break it)
For a name tag
On my clothes
(take it, take it)
Tell me is it worth
Every snap, every crack
While my dreams stay safe
In a torn backpack
[Drop]
No more chains
On my day
(take it all away)
If the world won’t change
I’ll walk away
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna go back
To that back breaker blues
Four walls and my bad thoughts
Beat their way through
I just wanna stay home
Wear the floor with my shoes
Lay my bones in this bed
Till the hurt can’t move
I don’t wanna go back
To that back breaker blues
