[Intro]
Alarm rings
I hit snooze
Chat says "wake up"
I still refuse (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Work shirt on the chair
Still there from last week
Boss calling my phone
I pretend I'm asleep
Energy drink tower
Blue light in my eyes
Dirty plates backstage
In this castle of wires
[Pre-Chorus]
Mom at the doorway
"Did you clean it yet?"
I mute the mic
Say
"One more set"
Telling myself
"I'll rest
I swear"
After this win
But I'm still right here
[Chorus]
Alt + Tab life
I'm loading again
Streaming all night
Then clocking in at ten
Chat keeps spamming
"Sleep
You clown" (oh-oh)
But I'd rather keep grinding
Till the sun comes down
Alt + Tab life
I'm stuck in this game
Work in the morning
But I'm queuing again
Yeah I'm lazy
I'm laughing
As the chores stack high
This is my life
On a pixel sky
[Verse 2]
Two-day-old hoodie
Chair knows my shape
Skipped one more shower
For one more escape
Boss says I'm late
I'm "almost on my way"
Still mid-boss fight
Can't pause
Not today
[Pre-Chorus]
Trash can overflow
Like my to-do list
Keyboard crumbs falling
Every time that I click
Tell myself "tomorrow"
I'll finally reset
But the lobby is open
And my squad's all set (let's go)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Eyes red
Heart fast
Night shift
Won't last
But I'm live
I'm alive
When the screen turns bright
[whispered vocals]
"Last game
Last game"
I say it again
But the queue pops quick
And I'm locked right in
[crescendo]
If I crash
If I fall
I'll just respawn
That's all
Real life on pause
Till they turn off the call
[Chorus]
