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
