Alarm Clock Lyrics by Token Genius

Searching the Signals

2017

[Verse]
It doesn't get much sadder than a Saturday
Work got me coming in for half a day
Second job was trash, I quit before I snapped and trashed the place
But this is the bed in which I have to lay
Ooh a college graduate- really, what moves have I made?
Average, basic- adjectives are accurate
Friends who were struggling post-grad learned to adapt to it
Meanwhile, nobody is asking 'bout the asterisk
Exception to the rule- you rap, but you can't brag for shit
I already know this isn't where thе cash comes in
Maybe I should reconsidеr what my passion is
Stand for something, doesn't it hurt to straddle the fence?
I was supposed to be smart and imaginative
Feels like a bad dream but it can't be
'Cause I lack sleep from the caffeine
Hands itching for the cash cream
Or I'm breaking out acting irrationally
No need to lie whenever people ask me
How I am- I'll just reply "Still taking breaths"
Goddamn, nothing new from me so I'm not wasting breath
Gotta plant the seeds for my fruits of labor to harvest
Before it's all ash and the insects decompose my flesh
Sounds like I'm so obsessed with the common trope of death
I don't know, I guess it's when I think of cousin Reg
"Passed away" is a passive way to express
He was snatched away when that stray hit the back of his neck
Three years since that day and I have to confess
At the funeral I came close but no tears have been shed
Sense of detachment steady rattling inside my head
Getting it out's like chatting while a tat is written on my neck
So I've been watching people pass for forever now
Too much on my plate to not be hungry and desperate now
No time or place to put my feet up or settle down
Do you get it now? It's time to get it now
I deferred a dream over a loan
I could take it to my grave or have it written on my stone

[Chorus]
You can wait until the ball drops
I gotta get it at the alarm clock
You can wait until the ball drops
I gotta get it at the alarm clock, rrrah (Yellin' out)
You can wait until the ball drops
I gotta get it at the alarm clock
You can wait until the ball drops
I gotta get it at the alarm clock, rrrah (Know I'm talmbout)
