[Chorus: raystanz]

Caught up in the matrix, so much left to break fix

At work in the night time. my mind starts to play tricks

Enough with the screen time, need you and me time

As soon as this build done , I'm makin a beeline

It might be a while before i compile

Flow state like a river, might call it denial

Might call it a flaw, but in my defense

My work or my family, focus intense

[Verse: raystanz]

I wake in the mornin' the sun isn’t up

My brain isn't waitin', yo son listen up

Time waits for no man, we got shit ta' do

Work without ending 'till the day is through

The reaper and piper be seeking their due

This piquing your interest? I'm speakin to you

Sayin' it's bullshit, I'm seein' it too

Dont know what else to do, but see it through

For path I'm pursuing, the gifts im receiving

But gods keep on laughing, 'cause that shit deceiving

For every cent earned, it's two they be thieving

Watching the hourglass, that got me grieving

Sending a message and hope you still care

Lookin for three dots, like are you still there?

My father, my brother, my wife or my son

The one that i think of while under the gun

[Chorus: raystanz]

Caught up in the matrix, so much left to break fix

At work in the night time. my mind starts to play tricks

Enough with the screen time, need you and me time

As soon as this build done , I'm makin a beeline

It might be a while before i compile

Flow state like a river, might call it denial

Might call it a flaw, but in my defense

My work or my family, focus intense

[Bridge: AWOL]

You know when

You’re so overworked that

You can’t even add single numbers together

And you just...

Fuck it

[Verse: AWOL]

I'm stuck with my head in the metaverse

Not sure life can get any worse

24/7 it feels like I'm cursed

But gotta make bread 'cause my family comes first

In my spare time trying to make lettuce

Every single Sunday playing meeting Tetris

Losing my mind like accounts that are headless

Wanna day off but the bosses won’t let us…

All this vacation accrued

Take a year off still exceed my reviews

Try to help my team, come off as rude

Need some time off to reboot my mood

Working non-stop New Year to New Year

6pm meetings wanna drink a few beers

Already have it all, only have two fears

Not saying the words my son and wife need to hear

Say 'em out loud so they don't go unspoken

Sitting here, I'm broken, crying, but I’m hoping

Struggles as I'm coping, they just need to know when

I've woken, “I love you” is the first phrase spoken

[Chorus]

Caught up in the matrix, so much left to break fix

At work in the night time. my mind starts to play tricks

Enough with the screen time, need you and me time

As soon as this build done , I'm makin a beeline

It might be a while before i compile

Flow state like a river, might call it denial

Might call it a flaw, but in my defense

My work or my family, focus intense
