[Intro]

[Verse]
Clock ticks a metronome of dread
Another deadline in my head
Each task a cog, a turning gear
Feeding the hunger, quelling the fear
Code cascades, a digital flood
Pulses of logic through my blood
This endless race, no finish line in sight
Consumed by the artificial light

[Pre-Chorus]
The system hums, a low, deep drone
A symphony of tasks, I'm not alone
But isolation is the price I pay
To keep the gears turning, day by day

[Chorus]
Velocity unbound, yet standing still
A phantom progress, against my will
The gears grind on, a ceaseless, frantic sound
Lost in the motion, nowhere to be found
This sprint unending, a tragic, cold design
My mind a circuit, forever intertwined

[Verse]
Priorities shift, a phantom's decree
Each change a tremor, shaking me
The choir wails, a mournful, icy plea
For rest, for silence, for release, for me
Sharp guitar stabs, like digital rain
Each note a fragment of my strain
A fragile hope, a whisper in the storm
Can this machine break, can it transform?

[Pre-Chorus]
The orchestra swells, a dark, grand tide
Where weary souls attempt to hide
But there's no refuge, no escape from this
Just the cold comfort of the digital abyss

[Chorus]
Velocity unbound, yet standing still
A phantom progress, against my will
The gears grind on, a ceaseless, frantic sound
Lost in the motion, nowhere to be found
This sprint unending, a tragic, cold design
My mind a circuit, forever intertwined

[Bridge]
Beneath the motion, a near-collapse
The fabric tears, the system gaps
A moment's pause, a breath held tight
Before the rush, the endless night
Is there an end? A dawn to break the chain?
Or just this echo, this eternal pain?

[Solo]

[Build-up]
The tension mounts, the air grows thin
A final surge, where do I begin?
To break the cycle, to find the key
To set this weary spirit free

[Chorus]
Velocity unbound, yet standing still
A phantom progress, against my will
The gears grind on, a ceaseless, frantic sound
Lost in the motion, nowhere to be found
This sprint unending, a tragic, cold design
My mind a circuit, forever intertwined

[Outro]
