Thirteenth Hour

[Intro: clockwork tick, pitch-bent chimes]
(twelve... thirteen!)

[Verse: playful rapid sing-rap]
They schedule every minute, color-code the day
But I find hidden evenings tucked along the way
A midnight made for dancing in a grocery-store aisle
An extra hour for an unexpected smile

[Pre-Chorus: cascading harmonies]
They swear the dial is all there is
I hear another number click

[Chorus: soaring ascending hook]
I'm the thirteenth hour on the clock
A little more wonder than the world can count
If I don't fit inside their time
I'll make a minute that's entirely mine
(tick-tock, tick-TA!)
Let the ordinary hands stand still
I've got impossible hours to fill

[Drop: stuttered ticks, 808 slides]
(thirteen-thirteen) (woo-ah!)

[Outro: clock chimes]
Too much life for twelve.
