KeziX - Death by Notification
[Intro - Old analog voice message recorder voice] "You have... two .... Hundred messages" [Verse 1] Punch the clock, grab the radio, I step right into the fray Another day of war... inside the mechanical ballet I sit down, look up at the screen, I try to log in, but I'm suddenly punched in the spleen, The work phone detonates, like a goddamn mine “Code rain in the hall” — my ass is on the line Texts stacking up like bodies in the street Emails piling higher than the tickets at my feet Teams pinging like a whack-a-mole from hell I just wanna finish one damn task but the screen’s a carousel [Pre-Chorus] I can’t tell which one’s louder, they’re all demanding me right now Every single channel open, every single one somehow [Chorus- Half time, clean reverb guitar rhythm up-picking to full band build up] I can' no longer hear who's calling my name! I’m one step from losing it, but I'm tying to stay sane... ...Alert after alert, now the battery is dead But still... One hundred emails still unread... Radio won’t quit it’s calling my name I’m one step from losing it, feelin' the pain Drowning in alerts, what do you know! Death by Ping! What a way to go! [Verse 2] In the middle of a job, safety on the line Teams pings flashing, like muzzle flashes in the night Testing boiler water, trying to stay in control When the text comes through, like a mortar round on patrol Radio’s barking static from across the site I got tools in my hands but I’m losing the fight Notifications coming in from every direction I’m one man against an army of digital infection One brain, two phones, and a million alerts The common man would be six feet in the dirt [Pre-Chorus] I can’t tell which one’s louder, they’re all demanding me right now Every single channel open, every single one somehow [Chorus - Half time, clean reverb guitar rhythm up-picking to full band build up] I can' no longer hear who's calling my name! I’m one step from losing it, but I'm tying to stay sane... ...Alert after alert, now the battery is dead But still... One hundred emails still unread... Radio won’t quit it’s calling my name I’m one step from losing it, feelin' the pain Drowning in alerts, what do you know! Death by Ping! What a way to go! [Bridge] [Pre-Chorus] I can’t tell which one’s louder, they’re all demanding me right now Every single channel open, every single one somehow [Final Chorus – Bigger & more desperate, Half time, clean reverb guitar rhythm up-picking to full band build up]] I can' no longer hear who's calling my name! I’m one step from losing it, but I'm tying to stay sane... ...Alert after alert, now the battery is dead But still... One hundred emails still unread... Radio won’t quit it’s calling my name I’m one step from losing it, feelin' the pain Drowning in alerts, what do you know! Death by Ping! What a way to go! [Outro - Pre-Chorus half-time fade out] I can’t tell which one’s louder, they’re all demanding me right now Every single channel open, every single one somehow
