[Verse 1] Coffee tastes like end times Calendar still says “due by noon” Sky outside is stained and shaking Slack chat pings in the living room Newsfeed full of falling pieces Boss asks “Can you jump on call?” Put my laptop on the windowsill Watch the ash drift down the wall [Pre-Chorus] If this is it I’m still in this chair Blue light glow On a vacant stare [Chorus] I’m trying to work while the apocalypse is happening Typing through the panic and the static in my head (oh) If the world goes down I’ll be tracking all my billable hours Filing one last form as it all turns red Trying to work while the apocalypse is happening “Per my last email” as the sirens spread [Verse 2] Neighbor’s packing up their suitcase Car is loaded Engine on I just got a gentle reminder “Circle back before you’re gone” Ceiling dust on my keyboard Fire painting shadows on the floor Auto-save spins in the corner Like it knows what’s coming more [Pre-Chorus] If this is it Guess I’ll hit “send” One more draft At the bitter end [Chorus] I’m trying to work while the apocalypse is happening Balancing the fear with a color-coded plan (yeah) If the world goes dark I’ll still highlight what I didn’t finish Leave a sticky note that says “Do what you can” Trying to work while the apocalypse is happening Out-of-office message for the final stand [Bridge] What if I just close it all Let the whole stack crash Let the inbox fall (hey) What if I just step outside Feel the last cold wind on my tired eyes [Chorus] I was trying to work while the apocalypse was happening Now I’m standing barefoot on the broken ground (oh) If the world lets go I won’t measure it in checklists Charts I’ll be here Right now As the clocks run out Trying to live while the apocalypse is happening Let the deadline die Let the day count down
