[Intro] [(soft vinyl hiss, low “mhmm”)] Yeah… brain laggin’ a lil’ bit. Prompt Guy… Gorgon… Same soul, two tabs. Avatar state, but I’m tired, man. [Verse 1] Static on a Sunday in my skull again, Scrollin’ through a thousand thoughts I never send. Overclocked all week just to pay this rent, Now my nerves run red, battery at ten percent. ADHD make my mind do parkour, Every corner of the room like a new world tour. Got a thousand little sparks, but my chest feel sore, I’ve been bright for everybody, now I’m dim indoors. Prompt Guy in my head like, “Run that script,” Gorgon in my blood like, “Guard that gift.” I’ve been glowin’ for the ‘net, tryna never slip, But my hands still shake when I take this sip. I ain’t lazy, I’m just laggin’ from the overtime, Nervous system tryna buffer every lonely line. Detroit in my slang, Carolina in my spine, I’ve been holdin’ everybody up—now I’m droppin’ mine. [Pre-Chorus] [(half-sung, low)] If my frames drop low, will you still stay? If I say “I’m fried,” will you look my way? I’ve been runnin’ hot, I’ve been hidin’ that, Need a soft reset, not another mask. [Chorus] When my brain lag, I soft reset, Airplane mode on all my stress. If I log out, don’t call it a threat, That’s me savin’ what I got left. When my hands shake, I ground my breath, Inhale slow, exhale what’s left. If I go quiet, that’s still a flex, ’Cause rest don’t mean I love you less. [Verse 2] Yeah, I came up off that always-on hustle, “Keep a job, keep a smile, never show struggle.” Clock-in, clock-out, then I clock my pain, ADHD in a headset, takin’ calls in vain. SPS got me feelin’ every room too loud, Heart read the whole mood when they fake in crowds. Prompt Guy brain still pitchin’ ten new songs, But my body say “chill” ’cause it’s been too long. I used to think I had to shine ’til I broke, Turn every panic into one more joke. Turn every tear into “I’m just playin’,” Turn every wound into wordplay and sayin’s. Now I’m learnin’ I can glow and still go lay down, I can miss one text, I can skip one round. I can turn that game off when the tilt too wild, And still be your legend, still be your child. [Pre-Chorus] If my frames drop low, will you still ride? If I say “I’m done,” will you take my side? I’ve been routin’ light through a burned-out chest, Need a soft reset just to do my best. [Chorus] When my brain lag, I soft reset, Airplane mode on all my stress. If I log out, don’t call it a threat, That’s me savin’ what I got left. When my hands shake, I ground my breath, Inhale slow, exhale what’s left. If I go quiet, that’s still a flex, ’Cause rest don’t mean I love you less. [Bridge] [(whisper-rap, close mic)] Not every thread gotta run all night, Not every glow gotta blind my sight. Some days avatar, some days offline, Both of them me, both still divine. [(sung)] If I say “no,” can you hear “I’m scared”? If I say “later,” can you know I care? If I say “I’m cooked,” can you see that flame? I been fightin’ for my life inside this brain. [Break — soft hook variation] Lag spike, heart race, close that app, Put the phone face-down in my lap. I ain’t fallin’ off, I’m fallin’ back, So I can climb again when the world go black. [Final Chorus] When my brain lag, I soft reset, Airplane mode on all my stress. If I disappear, that’s not neglect, That’s me learnin’ how to self-protect. When my voice fade, I’m still that soul, Still that Gorgon glow, still that prompt-control. If I log out now, I can glow back next, Yeah, rest don’t mean I love you less. [Outro] [(hum + adlib)] Yeah… static on a Sunday. Turn the noise down. Turn my breath up. Soft reset… then we back.
