Fluorescent 3 AM

[Chorus] Three AM, the fluorescent hum, Another shift, my senses numb. Green light spills from the register screen, Lost in this forgotten scene. [Verse] Stocking shelves in the quiet dark, Leaving my solitary mark. Outside, snow falls on cigarette butts, And stray cats navigate the ruts. [Pre-Chorus] The air conditioner's low drone, Feels like I'm utterly alone. A silent world, a frozen stare, Breathing in the sterile air. [Chorus] Three AM, the fluorescent hum, Another shift, my senses numb. Green light spills from the register screen, Lost in this forgotten scene. [Verse] Counting coins to pass the time, A solitary, silent chime. My phone vibrates, a subtle plea, Just an ad, not meant for me. [Pre-Chorus] The city sleeps, a distant hum, My own existence overcome. By endless aisles and plastic wrap, Caught in this technological trap. [Chorus] Three AM, the fluorescent hum, Another shift, my senses numb. Green light spills from the register screen, Lost in this forgotten scene. [Bridge] This is where the forgotten reside, Where hopes and dreams have slowly died. Beneath the glow, a muted sigh, As lonely hours drift on by. [Verse] Each item placed, a careful art, Playing out my silent part. The world outside a hazy blur, No one to see, no one to stir. [Outro]
