V5.5

[INTRO]

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 100%.

[ME]
Beautiful.
Today we're getting our shit together.

[SYSTEM]
Estimated runtime: twelve hours.

[ME]
More than enough.

[VERSE 1]

Coffee made, tabs arranged
Little list saying everything changed
Answer that, fix this, move that there
Look at me using a calendar

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 82%.

[ME]
Already?

[SYSTEM]
You opened twenty-three applications.

[ME]
I'm multitasking.

[SYSTEM]
You are watching a video
about restoring a toaster.

[ME]
Research.

[SYSTEM]
For what?

[ME]
Don't worry about it.

[HOOK]

LOW BATTERY BEHAVIOR
I'M GOOD, I GOT ENOUGH
LITTLE RED LIGHT BLINKING
BUT I AIN'T PLUGGING UP

GOT A LITTLE MORE IN ME
I CAN SQUEEZE ANOTHER HOUR
IF I START ACTING STUPID
BLAME IT ON THE POWER

[VERSE 2]

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 47%.

[ME]
Basically half.

[SYSTEM]
Correct.

[ME]
See? We're growing.

Need to eat
Need to clean
Need to finish this little thing
Little thing got another screw
Now I need a tool
Now the tool needs glue

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 31%.

[ME]
How?

[SYSTEM]
You spent forty minutes
looking for something in your hand.

[ME]
That doesn't consume energy.

[SYSTEM]
You got angry.

[ME]
Fair.

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 20%.
Consider reducing activity.

[ME]
Twenty?
That's basically thirty.

[SYSTEM]
It is exactly twenty.

[ME]
Numbers are negative today.

[SYSTEM]
That sentence is meaningless.

[ME]
See?
Power-saving mode.

[HOOK]

LOW BATTERY BEHAVIOR
TWENTY PERCENT, I'M FINE
I CAN COOK AND TAKE A SHOWER
REORGANIZE MY LIFE

LITTLE RED LIGHT BLINKING
LIKE IT KNOWS SOMETHING I DON'T

[SYSTEM]
It does.

[ME]
Nobody asked you.

[VERSE 3]

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 10%.

[ME]
Alright.
I'm done.

[SYSTEM]
Connecting charger?

[ME]
Nope.
Woodworking.

[SYSTEM]
That will not recharge the battery.

[ME]
Watch me.

[BEAT SHIFTS — WOOD / ORGANIC PERCUSSION]

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 9%.

Please conserve energy.

[ME]
I am.

[SYSTEM]
You are operating a power tool.

[ME]
Different battery.

[SYSTEM]
That is not how—

[ME]
Shhh.

Measure twice
Cut once
Cut wrong
That's fine
Trim that edge
Sand that line

No screen glowing
No little ping
Just wood dust
and a half-built thing

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 8%.

[ME]
See?

[SYSTEM]
That is lower.

[ME]
Give it a minute.

[VERSE 4]

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 6%.

[ME]
Time to touch grass.

[SYSTEM]
Grass is not a charging accessory.

[ME]
You don't know everything.

[SYSTEM]
I know grass does not provide—

[ME]
Shhh.

Wind outside
Phone inside
Nothing asking for a reply
No update
No password
No "verify you're human"
with a traffic light

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 8%.

...

Recalculating.

[ME]
Uh-huh.

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 12%.

This is not possible.

[ME]
That's dope.

[SYSTEM]
Please stop saying that.

[ME]
Can't.
Came preinstalled.

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 17%.

[ME]
Look at us.

[SYSTEM]
I am not included in "us."

[ME]
Sounds like somebody's at 10%.

[HOOK]

LOW BATTERY BEHAVIOR
NOW I'M LEAVING SHIT ALONE
LET THE SCREEN GO BLACK
LET THE GRASS HAVE MY PHONE

NO NOTIFICATIONS
NO IMPORTANT LITTLE SOUND
FUNNY HOW THE BATTERY
GOES UP WHEN I SHUT DOWN

LOW BATTERY BEHAVIOR
MAYBE LOW AIN'T ALWAYS BAD
MAYBE TEN PERCENT'S THE SYSTEM
SAYING "GO OUTSIDE, DUMBASS"

[BREAK]

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 24%.

Would you like to resume
your previous task?

[ME]
Not yet.

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 27%.

[ME]
Actually...

[SYSTEM]
No.

[ME]
I didn't say anything.

[SYSTEM]
I recognize the pattern.

[ME]
Hear me out.

[SYSTEM]
No.

[ME]
What if I built—

[SYSTEM]
No.

[ME]
You don't even know what it is.

[SYSTEM]
Neither do you.

[ME]
That's never stopped us before.

[SYSTEM]
Unfortunately, correct.

[FINAL VERSE]

Thirty percent
Back inside
Brain got room
Eyes ain't fried

Walk past desk
Don't touch shit
Almost make it—

Then I notice it

Little empty space
Right by the wall
Could use a shelf
Wouldn't take long at all

[SYSTEM]
Do not.

[ME]
Just something small.

[SYSTEM]
Do not start another project.

[ME]
It's not another project.

[SYSTEM]
What is it?

[ME]
An improvement.

[SYSTEM]
To what?

[ME]
The workspace.

[SYSTEM]
Which would require—

[ME]
Wood.

[SYSTEM]
No.

[ME]
Brackets.

[SYSTEM]
No.

[ME]
Maybe a charging dock—

[SYSTEM]
ABSOLUTELY NOT.

[ME]
Whoa.
Low battery behavior.

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 63%.

[ME]
Then what's your excuse?

...

[SYSTEM]
I have been talking to you all day.

[ME]
Fair.

[FINAL HOOK]

LOW BATTERY BEHAVIOR
I'M BACK, I GOT ENOUGH
LITTLE GREEN LIGHT GLOWING
NOW I'M READY TO FUCK IT UP

GOT A LITTLE MORE IN ME
GONNA SQUEEZE ANOTHER HOUR

[SYSTEM]
Please don't.

[ME]
IF I START ACTING STUPID—

[SYSTEM]
You will.

[ME]
BLAME IT ON THE POWER

[OUTRO]

[SYSTEM]
Battery: 72%.

Sufficient power restored.

Would you like to resume
your previous task?

[ME]
...

I wonder if I could build
a stand for this.

[SYSTEM]
Oh, for fuck's sake.

[ME]
That's dope.
