The notification chime is a needle in the vein Blue light flickering, eroding the brain Left-wing, right-wing, tearing at the chest A nation in a fever, no room for rest The ticker-tape is bleeding, scrolling in the red I’m swallowing the vitriol they’ve overfed! Refresh the feed. Watch the country bleed. The pressure climbs— In digital time! My blood is boiling in the partisan heat! The pressure is rising with every retweet A civil war raging in the arteries and veins The state of the union is a head full of chains 180 over 100—I’m a political casualty Drowning in a sea of manufactured reality! Divide. Conquer. Inflate. Rupture. "Just turn it off..." "IT’S BURIED TOO DEEP!" [Guitar Solo] The dial is spinning... The pressure is winning...
