[Intro]
Last round
Headshots
Leaderboard
Then—"get off!"
[Verse 1]
I’m locked in
Endgame
Ready
Set—
"Clean this room!"
Door swings
Boss raid
Not in-game
In my house
"Later!"
I call back
"Timer’s on! I can’t pause!"
She says my full name
Uh-oh
That’s the final boss
[Pre-Chorus]
Dad walks in like referee
Looks at Mom
Then looks at me
Says
"You got ten
Ten minutes left
Or I pull the plug on that thing you love"
[Chorus]
I got ten minutes or else
He turns off the internet
BLEH
Speedrun chores
Then I’m back
Combo cleaning
Double tap
Ten minutes or else
Heart beating like a countdown
Yeah
If I lose this IRL match
No more gaming
Disconnect
[Verse 2]
Mouse click
Alt-tab
Pick up socks
Dash attack
Trash bin
One shot
Dishes done
Perfect stack
Vacuum like a power-up
Dust bunnies go "bye-bye"
Mom stands there
Arms crossed
Checking all my alibis
[Pre-Chorus]
Dad’s watch ticking in my head
Nine
Eight
"Did you make the bed?"
Laundry boss fight
Speedy hands
I’m doing side quests for second chance
[Chorus]
I got ten minutes or else
He turns off the internet
BLEH
Speedrun chores
Then I’m back
Combo cleaning
Double tap
Ten minutes or else
Heart beating like a countdown
Yeah
If I lose this IRL match
No more gaming
Disconnect
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Last minute
Last life
[normal] Mom checks every little thing twice
"Floor’s clean?"
"Yeah!"
"Trash out?"
"Yeah!"
"Homework?"
"...Almost"
"Now."
Game over?
Wait
She cracks a smile
Says "go play"
Dad hits timer
Calls "you win"
I respawn and log back in
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Ten minutes or else
I survived the internet test
Mom says "level up that desk"
Dad says "next time
Do it first"
Ten minutes or else
BLEH
I’ll still push it to the edge
Controller in one hand
Vacuum in the other
Yeah
