[Intro] (Heartbeat sound effect) (Synthetic Voice: Critical temperature reached) [Beat Drop] [Verse 1] High blood pressure spiking, blowing past the warning sign Like a fork in the microwave, sparking up the line Overheating rapid like an old radiator Flipping every circuit like a busted generator Pulse in the brain kicking like a blown-out sub Eyeballs strobe lighting, turned the skull into a club [Ad-lib: Flash flash] Thermostat is shattered, getting hotter by the hour Like a dial-up modem screaming, fighting for some power [Chorus] Pressure in the pipes, yeah the boiler’s gonna pop Needle in the red and it doesn't wanna stop Pulse in the head knocking right out of time Eyeballs flashing like a glitching neon sign Warning on the dash, gotta brace for the crash Overheating engine turning metal into trash System overloading, yeah it's never gonna tame High blood pressure shaking up the whole damn frame [Verse 2] Vitals off the chart, reading like a fault line Seismic activity shaking up the spine Coolant on E, spitting steam out the vent Like a vintage pressure cooker when the lid gets bent Dashboard smoking, alarms trying to reroute Radiator hissing, bout to blow the whole spout Gaskets are fried, temperature running in the red Got a pneumatic drill bouncing round inside the head [Ad-lib: Caution tape] Need a fire extinguisher just to cool down the fit Motherboard fried and the hard drive quit [Chorus] Pressure in the pipes, yeah the boiler’s gonna pop Needle in the red and it doesn't wanna stop Pulse in the head knocking right out of time Eyeballs flashing like a glitching neon sign Warning on the dash, gotta brace for the crash Overheating engine turning metal into trash System overloading, yeah it's never gonna tame High blood pressure shaking up the whole damn frame [Outro] (Heavy rhythmic breathing) Needle in the red... Yeah, we're in the red... (Synthetic Voice: Total system failure)
