Deadline - Flash Forward

The clock sets off the alarm in me

Seven a.m. is usually too early

Even the coffee I used to get

Won’t wake up my weary head

Pre-Chorus

I work for five days

Straight on three jobs

Too much to do I am gone

I’m too lost and you’ve won

I fucked up the deadline

Time after time after time

And stepped on a landmine

But I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine

On the outside I’m trying to pretend

To be everything I’m not

On the inside I can’t forget the fact

I’m bruised and battered

Broke and stuck

I hear their angry voices

Ringing in my head

I’m staring at the screen

Covered in cold sweat

And here’s my endless to-do-list

It tells me to do this

But then when I do it

I never get through it

Pre-Chorus:

Five days

Straight on three jobs

Too much to do I am gone

I fucked up the deadline

Time after time after time

And stepped on a landmine

But I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine

On the outside I’m trying to pretend

To be everything I’m not

On the inside I can’t forget the fact

I’m bruised and battered

Broke and stuck

(Broke and stuck

Broke and stuck

Broke and stuck

Broke and stuck

Broke and stuck

Broke and stuck)

I fucked up the deadline

Time after time after time

And stepped on a landmine

But I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine

On the outside I’m trying to pretend

To be everything I’m not

On the inside I can’t forget the fact

I’m bruised and battered

Broke and stuck

I’m bruised and battered

Broke and stuck

I’m bruised and battered

Broke and stuck
