Troubleshoot Protocol

When coaxial relays our groans

Alphanumeric codes we use on our phones

A constant variable of little white lies we tell ourselves

So we can fall asleep at night

You breathe to work to eat

You breed just to repeat

A lie, a life

We're all just dying to get by

Control, release me

Walk me through a troubleshoot protocol

Ice in, my veins

How could I even make it out at all

I feel I'm putting in effort to keep moving backwards but if I fall,

I'll lose it all, I'll lose it all

It's all slipping, I'm on empty

What a lovely place to lay my head down

All these ones and zeroes that drown me out

Can someone throw me a bone

Some sort of life line, some sort of note

I'm getting conflicting error messages

Am i the only one seeing this

Are you even getting this

What is this strange fucking code

Someone call the director, Ive used all the safety measures

Control, release me

Walk me through a troubleshoot protocol

Ice in, my veins

How could I even make it out at all

I feel I'm putting in effort to keep moving backwards but if I fall,

I'll lose it all, I'll lose it all

It's all slipping, I'm on empty

When obviously, I'm on empty

I feel it's permanent that I've lost my head

I know it's not that easy

I know it's unfortunate but I think I'm dead
