[Verse]
Rise up
Man
And feel the burn of the day
Flatline thoughts
Kick ‘em far away
Choking smog blankets the city gray
No rest here
Just the price we pay
[Chorus]
Bright and early
Grind the gears till they break
The world slams down
Gives there's nothing to take
Spit on the sun—light’s fake
It’s so fake
Bright and early
Oh man
Feel the ache
[Verse 2]
Alarm screams loud
Cuts like a dull knife
Round and round this circle of strife
Clock’s hands grip like a thief’s vice
No escape
Just a recycled life
[Chorus]
Bright and early
Grind the gears till they break
The world slams down
Gives there's nothing to take
Spit on the sun—light’s fake
It’s so fake
Bright and early
Oh man
Feel the ache
[Bridge]
Slam fists against the rotten cracked walls
Echoes of heartbreak
The bitterest calls
Rails of frustration
We run till we crawl
Life blasts fast but man
We're so small
[Chorus]
Bright and early
Grind the gears till they break
The world slams down
Gives there's nothing to take
Spit on the sun—light’s fake
It’s so fake
Bright and early
Oh man
Feel the ache
