Click, click

Buzz-buzz

Click, click

Buzz-buzz

Phone face-down

Still it shakes

Names keep stacking

All day long

Three more pings

Before noon

My screen lights up

Then I do too

Everybody wants

A faster me

Every small thing

Turns into a key

I keep walking

Through the noise

But it follows

Every choice

Under every deadline

I can feel you close

Under every deadline

My name won’t let go

Under every deadline

I run, I run

(Under every deadline)

Till the whole room hums

Inbox high

Jaw locked tight

One more ask

And the day is gone

White tab open

Blank reply

Try to breathe

But the page stays on

Everybody needs

A piece of time

Everybody’s reaching

For the same thin line

I keep moving

Like I’m fine

But the pressure

Has my mind

Under every deadline

I can feel you close

Under every deadline

My name won’t let go

Under every deadline

I run, I run

(Under every deadline)

Till the whole room hums

If I miss one beat

Will it all break down?

If I say I’m tired

Will they hear me now?

I’m still here

I’m still here

(Keep it moving)

I’m still here

Under every deadline

I can feel you close

Under every deadline

My name won’t let go

Under every deadline

I run, I run

(Under every deadline)

Till the whole room hums
