Four-thirty, eyes locked on the clock
Red lines bleeding on the white screen
Finger's snapping, wrist won't stop
Tightest corner that I've ever been
Cursor blinking, inbox stacked
Sweat on the palm, keyboard cracked
February sunset, orange and cold
Gotta ship it before the screen folds
Static in the air, electric in the vein
Neck is stiff, temple starts to strain
Shoulders locked to the hundred-two beat
Heel is bouncing underneath the seat
Electric Deadline, spark in the dark
Fingers on the wire, chasing the mark
Just one more
Bass is driving, pulse running hot
Just one more
Send it off before the clock drops
Electric Deadline, caught in the wire
Kaltoegak
Keyboard clacking like a heavy drum
Tab to tab, fingers going numb
Office noise fades, tunnel in my head
Screen is all I see, everything else dead
Save. Delete. Undo. Redo
Ctrl Z my life, if only I could, though
No filter on the rush, raw adrenaline
Veins are wires, current running thin
Electric Deadline, spark in the dark
Fingers on the wire, chasing the mark
Just one more
Bass is driving, pulse running hot
Just one more
Send it off before the clock drops
Electric Deadline, caught in the wire
Kaltoegak
Save the file
Check the link
Maybe I live better at the edge
Maybe the panic is my only fuel
Don't freeze now
Push
Electric Deadline, spark in the dark
Fingers on the wire, chasing the mark
Just one more
Bass is driving, pulse running hot
Just one more
Send it off before the clock drops
Electric Deadline, caught in the wire
Kaltoegak
File sent
Electricity fades
Still in the loop.
