Bell Rings, Heart Sinks
G
Gottfrid
male vocals
Upbeat pop-punk with crunchy guitars and driving bass
male vocals leaning conversational in the verses then opening into big shout-along gang vocals on the chorus; tight drums with stop-start hits before hooks
occasional palm-muted riffs in the verses
chorus explodes with doubled leads and bright backing harmonies
brisk tempo that keeps the energy high from start to finish

[Verse 1]
Alarm screams
Half past eight
Shoes untied
Still running late
Eyes half-closed
But the hall is loud
My name's on paper
Not in the crowd
Same white walls
Same old rows
Teacher talks
But my brain just goes
Stacked-up pages
Tall as me
Every red mark says
"Who you gotta be?"
[Chorus]
Every time the bell rings
My heart sinks
Another test
Another night I overthink
They say
"It's your future
Don't you dare blink"
But I'm so tired
I'm so tired I can't even dream
If learning's living
Why can't I breathe?
Why does "doing well" feel like it’s breaking me? (yeah)
Every time the bell rings
My heart sinks
[Verse 2]
Clock hand drags
Like it's stuck in glue
Forty-five minutes
Staring right through
One more slide
One more rule
Are we learning life
Or just how to school?
I doodle plans
In the margin lines
Like "What if class
Was building signs?"
Or fixing bikes
Or growing trees
Not chasing letters
On a busted screen
[Chorus]
Every time the bell rings
My heart sinks
Another test
Another night I overthink
They say
"It's your future
Don't you dare blink"
But I'm so tired
I'm so tired I can't even dream
If learning's living
Why can't I breathe?
Why does "doing well" feel like it’s breaking me? (hey)
Every time the bell rings
My heart sinks
[Bridge]
What if we learned how to fail and try?
What if "why?" mattered more than "right"?
What if our questions filled up the room
Instead of silence hanging like a wound?
[Chorus]
Every time the bell rings
My heart sinks
Another test
Another night I overthink
They say
"It's your future
Don't you dare blink"
But I'm so tired
I'm so tired I can't even dream
If learning's living
Let it be free
Turn this pressure into curiosity (oh)
Till the day that bell rings and hearts lift
Not sink
Alarm screams
Half past eight
Shoes untied
Still running late
Eyes half-closed
But the hall is loud
My name's on paper
Not in the crowd
Same white walls
Same old rows
Teacher talks
But my brain just goes
Stacked-up pages
Tall as me
Every red mark says
"Who you gotta be?"
[Chorus]
Every time the bell rings
My heart sinks
Another test
Another night I overthink
They say
"It's your future
Don't you dare blink"
But I'm so tired
I'm so tired I can't even dream
If learning's living
Why can't I breathe?
Why does "doing well" feel like it’s breaking me? (yeah)
Every time the bell rings
My heart sinks
[Verse 2]
