[Verse 1] Cardboard pizza on the router Empty cans beside the rack You say "One more little update" We both know there's no going back Blue tape labels on the cables Old badge hanging from your neck Fans spin like tiny turbines We live our lives in system checks [Chorus] Midnight server install If it breaks It's on us all Hold your breath Hit "run" and pray Please don't crash before the day Midnight server install Heartbeat in the down-time call If this boots and holds the load We just wrote our names in code [Verse 2] Chat log scrolling in the corner Boss goes quiet Then types "ok" Every bar feels like a story Every blink steals sleep away You yawn Say you miss your apartment I joke I'm married to this room Somehow in this humming darkness We keep dodging certain doom [Chorus] Midnight server install If it breaks It's on us all Hold your breath Hit "run" and pray Please don't crash before the day Midnight server install Heartbeat in the down-time call If this boots and holds the load We just wrote our names in code [Bridge] [Drums drop to toms Bass pulsing] Rollback script on standby (just in case) Coffee stains on every place You nudge my chair "it's done Look there" Green across the dashboard glare (oh yeah) [Chorus] Midnight server install Now it's spinning Standing tall Screens go green We crack a smile Bought the world another while Midnight server install Fluorescents flicker off the wall Pack the bags The silence grows Sunrise on our sleeping roads
