(Intro – low, atmospheric)
Yeah…
No clock… just alerts…
No night… just cycles…
Stay up… switch off… stay up… switch off…
---
(Hook)
Sleep in a chair, yeah, I’m clockin’ in dreams
Twenty-minute blackout, then I’m back on the screen
Heartbeat sync with the hum of machines
Under siege, every second, know what pressure means
Sleep in a chair, yeah, I fade then I rise
One eye closed, one eye scan for the lies
Packets hit like they’re raining from the sky
We don’t rest, we just rotate and survive
---
(Verse 1)
Chair lean back but the spine never soft
System logs scrollin’, never really log off
Neon bleed through the cracks of the blinds
Every ping like a knock on the back of my mind
Coffee cold, but the code still hot
Every port get probed like they know what I got
Firewall flicker, IDS start to scream
Another ghost in the wire tryin’ slip through the seam
I was human once, now I’m half in the stack
Dreams come in fragments, never fully intact
Power nap, thirty seconds, then I’m dragged to the fight
By a red alert flash cuttin’ straight through the night
We rotate like shifts in a bunker below
No sun, just glow from the screens that we know
They don’t stop, so we don’t ever slow
Just pass the chair when your eyelids go

(Hook)
Sleep in a chair, yeah, I’m clockin’ in dreams
Twenty-minute blackout, then I’m back on the screen
Heartbeat sync with the hum of machines
Under siege, every second, know what pressure means
Sleep in a chair, yeah, I fade then I rise
One eye closed, one eye scan for the lies
Packets hit like they’re raining from the sky
We don’t rest, we just rotate and survive
---
(Verse 2)
Back to the wall, got the terminal lit
Every keystroke heavy like a loaded clip
They come in waves, DDoS crash the shore
We patch the breach, then they find one more
VPN tunnels like veins in the dark
Trace routes map where they left their mark
Zero-day whispers, exploit in disguise
You blink too long, that’s the moment you die
Sleep got a price and it’s paid in risk
So we cut it down to a microdose fix
Neck snap forward, then you jerk awake
Check the logs fast—what did we just take?
Stack overflow, mind overflow too
But the system stay live ‘cause it’s held by a few
And if I drop out, then the line gets thin
So I pass the chair and I tag you in
---
(Bridge – more melodic)
No lullaby, just alarms in the night
No dreams, just fragments of code in the light
We don’t break, we just bend to the load
We don’t sleep, we just step off the node
Count it down—ten, nine, fade to black
Five seconds gone, then they pull me back
Never deep, never safe, never through
Just a chair and a shift and a war we renew
---
(Hook – heavier drop)
Sleep in a chair, yeah, I’m clockin’ in dreams
Twenty-minute blackout, then I’m back on the screen
Heartbeat sync with the hum of machines
Under siege, every second, know what pressure means
Sleep in a chair, yeah, I fade then I rise
One eye closed, one eye scan for the lies
Packets have to move on sometime
