[Verse 1]

Epileptic seizure attack building up and coming back

The massacre beginning as I cross the threshold

Overload on information, bust in with no invitation

Tackling the mountain with a dirty blindfold


[Pre-Chorus 1]

I’m in over my head

I can’t relate

Again, I’m bound and gagged

I can’t escape


[Chorus]

Meltdown: the system’s overloading

The fuse is burning


[Verse 2]

Asphyxiating on what’s being crammed down my throat

And it’s eating every fiber in me and the fists keep pounding

Throw me to the sharks, I’ll take it, overboard, obliterated

Sinking to the bottom with the sirens sounding


[Pre-Chorus 2]

Consumed and overused

Burned at the stake

Ground down to the bone

Wired awake


[Chorus]

Meltdown: the system’s overloading

The fuse is burning


[Interlude]

Buried and afflicted by the accumulation

Pressing on my shoulders

Piling on me

Headed towards extinction

In a world where every carnivore and whore

Will gouge my eyes out


[Verse 3]

Every day, the daily drone is grating on the happy home

Ripping open further all the gaps between us

Suffocating power struggles, never-ending, never subtle

Going for the jugular to cash in


[Pre-Chorus 1]

I’m in over my head

I can’t relate

Again, I’m bound and gagged

I can’t escape


[Chorus]

Meltdown: the system’s overloading

The fuse is burning
