System Overload

Verse 1
I kept pressure in the wiring
I kept quiet through the strain
Every impact stored and filed
Every insult archived pain
I don’t vent, I don’t react
I compress it down instead
But compression has a limit
And tonight the system bled

Pre-Chorus
Too much heat
Too much weight
Too many errors
Too much to take

Chorus
System overload tonight
Every circuit burning bright
All the control I kept for years
Just detonated out of sight
I don’t rage without a cause
I don’t lose it without proof
System overload tonight
Now there’s nothing left to mute

Verse 2
I stopped filtering the damage
I stopped managing the tone
Every word I never answered
Started screaming on its own
You thought silence meant acceptance
You thought calm meant I was weak
You never met the version of me
That no longer tries to keep peace

Pre-Chorus
No restraint
No disguise
Everything I buried
Just came alive

Chorus
System overload tonight
Every boundary turned to flame
Every piece of quiet control
Just abandoned the frame
I don’t break for attention
I don’t crash for the show
System overload tonight
Now the truth is in the glow

Bridge
Warning lights
Pressure high
No more holding
Back inside

Final Chorus
System overload tonight
No recovery mode left
Every limit you kept pushing
Finally collapsed the rest
I don’t reset for anyone
I don’t return to who I was
System overload tonight
Now you see what pressure does

Outro
No shutdown
No repair
If you wanted calm
You should’ve cared
