歌詞

The deadline glow is haunting my screen tonight

A silent storm is brewing, out of sight

My motivation’s missing, a runaway ghost

Lost in the place where I needed it most

Ice cubes clicking at the bottom of my glass

My dog is snoring, letting the hours pass

His peaceful breathing is the only thing that’s right

In the middle of this cold and lonely night

Three hours left, yeah, I’m doing fine

Telling myself "I’ve still got time"

A vague delusion spreading through my veins

Slowly numbing all the deadline pains

Midnight Pressure! Reality is closing in

Knowing I should start, but I can’t even begin

Alcohol, my dog, and a melody on the run

Turning my escape into a song that’s never done

Forget the reviews, let the judgment fade away

I’m just trying to forgive myself today

Staring at the tasks like shadows on the wall

"Hurry up, loser," I can hear them call

But a random phrase starts dancing in my brain

Writing a song instead of clearing the drain

Will I make it? Won't I? I don’t even know

Living on the edge, ready for the show

Laughing at the idiot I’ve always been

Searching for the courage buried deep within

Walking on the tightrope, addicted to the thrill

Is it an escape, or a test of my will?

My dog keeps the tempo, a steady rhythm beat

Whispering "Go on, go on," through the midnight heat

The fire lights up at the very last second

A warning heartbeat, exactly what I reckoned

I know I can do it, I’ve done it before

Tripping through the maze, heading for the door!

Deadline Fever! A burning, stinging night

Falling to the floor, but I’m holding on tight

My pulse is lagging, but the spirit’s on fire

Waking up the soul, my one true desire

Alcohol, my dog, and a melody in my head

Still got the legs, I’m not finished yet

The thrill of the limit makes me feel alive!

Three hours

Two hours

One

"Okay... let’s do this."
