BURNOUT

[Intro] [distorted synth pulse, electronic percussion] [heavy distorted guitar chugging enters] [Verse 1] [rhythmic spoken vocals] Tick, tick, ticking Inside my skull Nine to five Mind is numb, numb, numb, numb He's watching The snake in the suit Watching me bleed Watching me mute [Chorus] [shouted vocals, double-kick drums] Deadline! Deadline! Deadline! [Post-Chorus] [staccato guitar riffs] Hands are shaking Voice is breaking [distorted scream] Shut up! Shut up! [industrial clanging sound] Voice Bleed System error Slave to the clock [Verse 2] [bass-heavy groove, filtered drums] Phone is ringing He's screaming again Empty coffee Empty brain I'm not a machine I'm not your ghost Burn the office Burn the host (Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet) [Bridge] [drums drop out, glitchy synth textures] Break the chain [heavy guitar re-enters] I quit! Burn it out! Lose control! [Outro] [half-time feel, sustained guitar feedback] Clock stops No more orders Still here
