[Verse 1]
Red eyes
Cold queue outside the rave
IDs flash
Bouncers never learn my name
Jaw tight
Heartjack on the parquet floor
Sweat drips
Like it’s raining from the doors
I’m numb
But the bassline’s in my teeth
Old sins
Chalked up underneath my feet
Two taps
Phone light flickers on your face
You say
“Tonight we burn this place”
[Chorus]
System overload
I can’t feel my bones
Every bad decision
Calling from my phone
If this is how it ends
Let it end like this
Half truths on my tongue
Powder on your lips (oh-woah)
System overload
Throw me to that sound
If I crash and fold
Let me hit the ground
If this is how it ends
I don’t want to know
Just cut the lights
And let the speakers blow
[Verse 2]
Blackout
Strobe carves halos in the smoke
You shout
But your words all hit and choke
Old ghosts
Lurk in every little grin
New dose
Now the room starts caving in
I blink
Now I’m drowning in the crowd
Can’t think
Only thing I hear is loud
You lean
Say you’re tired of this spin
But your hands
Pull me further in (hey!)
[Chorus]
System overload
I can’t feel my bones
Every bad decision
Calling from my phone
If this is how it ends
Let it end like this
Half truths on my tongue
Powder on your lips
System overload
Throw me to that sound
If I crash and fold
Let me hit the ground
If this is how it ends
I don’t want to know
Just cut the lights
And let the speakers blow
[Bridge]
Are we running
Or just running in place?
Are we living
Or just loving the chase?
You say “one more”
But it’s never “one more”
We keep scratching
At the same locked door
[Chorus]
System overload
I can’t feel my bones
Every bad decision
Calling from my phone
If this is how it ends
Let it end like this
Half truths on my tongue
Powder on your lips
System overload
Throw me to that sound
If I crash and fold
Let me hit the ground
If this is how it ends
I don’t want to know
Just cut the lights
And let the speakers blow
