I said twenty minutes, a quick little fix
I looked at the clock and it’s quarter to six
The copper is dry and the iron is low
I’m stuck in a loop and I can’t let it go
My eyes are like sandpaper, grit in the lens
I’ve totally ghosted my family and friends
The map is expanding, the pollution spreads
I should be asleep in the safest of beds
But the red circuit factory just isn't fast
And I know that my power grid isn't gonna last
My coffee is empty, my vision is blurred
But quitting right now would be simply absurd
Cause sleep is a bottleneck, killing the flow
The system is lagging, the UPS is slow
I can’t hit the pillow, I can’t hit the sack
There’s a deadlock of trains on the northern track
Optimize, automate, expand the zone
My body is flesh but my mind is made of stone, Yeah
Sleep is a bottleneck
I close up my eyes but the belts keep on moving
The inserter arms are rhythmic and grooving
I look at the wall and I see the blueprints
I’m tracking the ground for biter footprints
It’s total spaghetti, a mess of a line
But in my delusion, it looks simply fine
I fixed the refining, the plastic is bright
I’ve been sitting right here since last Tuesday night
Just one more wire
Just one more gear
The sun is coming up, and it represents fear
The birds are all chirping, I hate every sound
I’m building a rocket to leave this ground
Cause sleep is a bottleneck, killing the flow
The system is lagging, the UPS is slow
I can’t hit the pillow, I can’t hit the sack
There’s a deadlock of trains on the northern track
Optimize, automate, expand the zone
My body is flesh but my mind is made of stone, Yeah
Sleep is a bottleneck
I’ll fix it tomorrow, I swear
Just... one... more... belt
