[Verse 1] Coffee gone cold on the desk Blue light branded in my chest Inbox howling like a smoke alarm Hands on the keys But they just disarm [Pre-Chorus] Every tab a tiny fire Every buzz a live wire Breathing in this neon air Already used up tomorrow's spare [Chorus 1] I’m a burnt out circuit Sparks on the floor Overloaded Overheating Can’t take any more Try to kill the glow But the screen stays bright I’m a burnt out circuit Shorting in the night [Verse 2] Calendar stacked like a wall Back-to-back calls Same drywall Smile on cue for the cam each time Mute it and swear Just to feel alive [Pre-Chorus] Heartbeat ticking out of time Mentions climbing Thin red lines Signal strong on every plane Running on fumes, caffeine and shame [Chorus 2] I’m a burnt out circuit Frayed at the core Notifications Thought invasions Always one more chore Try to pull the plug But I still hit “join” I’m a burnt out circuit Cracking at the joints [Bridge] Pull the plug Kill the hum Let it all Come undone Sitting with the silence Shaking in the hush But the quiet lands softer than the rush (Than the rush) [Instrumental Break] [Chorus 3] Burnt out circuit Learning to fade Let the inbox And the pings Sit there and decay Hands off the switch Let the dark feel right I’m a burnt out circuit Cooling down tonight Cooling down tonight
