[Intro: Instrumental]

[Low Guitar Chord and Repeated Monitor Click]

[Verse 1: Male Lead - Ben]

Floor seven mourned a dead display;
The finance chief declared doomsday.
"The quarter's trapped behind that black!
Inform the board. The charts are cracked!"

[Pre-Chorus: Male Lead - Ben]

I checked the dock and traced the leed.
One dark lamp told me what I'd need.

[Chorus: Male Lead with Gang Vocals]

My screen is black! Call the attack!
Bring every tech and bring the quarter back!
The market's fine; your switch is slack—
My screen is black! My screen is black!

[Verse 2: Male Lead - Ben]

A cleaning cart had killed the strip;
I raised one hand and flipped the tip.
The screen flashed white; the room yelled "Saved!"
Then ADMIN-TEMP blinked once and fled.

[Pre-Chorus: Male Lead - Ben]

The charts came up. The name went south.
One joke shut every cheering mouth.

[Chorus: Male Lead with Gang Vocals]

My screen is black! Call the attack!
Bring every tech and bring the quarter back!
The market's fine; your switch is slack—
My screen is black! My screen is black!

[Guitar Solo: 6/8 into Fast Punk]

[Verse 3: Male Lead - Ben]

The token breathed for eighteen ticks,
Then wiped its prints and killed the script.
The chief reclaimed his padded throne;
MAH-rah said, "That name's unknown."

[Bridge: Duet]

[Male Vocal - Ben]
A dark display is one loose plug.

[Female Vocal - Mara]
A ghost account is not that bug.

[Final Chorus: Male Lead with Gang Vocals]

My screen is black! Call the attack!
Bring every tech and bring the quarter back!
The market's fine; your switch is slack—
My screen is black! My screen is black!

[Outro: Spoken Male Lead - Ben]

The screen came back.
The stranger did not.
