On Hold [SSC5, Switzerland]
Click, buzz, ring, wait Glitchy tones vibrate Lines cross, time bends Loops in, no end Called in for some help, right? Stuck in this endless fight Voicemail loops, I sigh deep Prompts I don’t wanna keep Push the buttons, still lost Patience now on the frost Hold music so bland Hope they understand Lost in this maze, yo When will they show, bro? Please stay on the line, they say Your call is important today Robots speak but make no sense Frustration so intense Transferred to someone new Now the hold time’s askew Static buzz, crackling noise Sounds that annoy, no joys Reps say, “Can you repeat?” Echoed back on repeat Hold music so bland Hope they understand Lost in this maze, yo When will they show, bro? Please stay on the line, they say Your call is important today Robots speak but make no sense Frustration so intense Silence, then noise No human voice Echoes rebound Hope’s on the ground Finally, a voice comes through the line “Hello, how can I help?” They chime But by now, I’m done, I’m through Hung up before they could undo Please stay on the line, they say Your call is important today Robots speak but make no sense Frustration so intense Click, buzz, done, wait Left at the gate No more time spent No calls are sent Click, buzz, done, wait Left at the gate No more time spent No calls are sent
