Overclocked

Glorifying the burnout — wearing exhaustion like a crown to fill a void that never heals.

Lyrics

(It's not enough...)
(It's never enough...)
(Nothing's ever enough...)

(Nothing's ever enough...)

I push the voltage past the red line
Warning alerts flash inside my eyes
I tell myself this feels divine
Heat is just power, redefined

System warnings left ignored
This is the price of keeping score
Forcing the speed I can't afford
Burning through what I can't replace
(Overclocked... overclocked... overclocked... overclocked... overclocked...)

Overclocked, this system burning up the frame
I'm chasing an illusion just out of my reach
But I can't let go
But I can't let go

Limiters off, the safety's gone
And God, I love the way it feels
I wear the burnout like a crown
To fill a void that never heals

System warnings left ignored
This is the price of keeping score
Forcing the speed I can't afford
Burning through what I can't replace
(Overclocked... overclocked... overclocked...)

Overclocked, this system burning up the frame
I'm chasing an illusion, I'm closing the gap
No, I can't let go
No, I can't let go

System diagnostic: Warning.
Processor temperature: Critical.
Integrity: Compromised.
Command: Override... safety.
Increase load... now... now... now... now...

More speed...
More heat...
More power...
(Overclocked... overclocked... overclocked... overclocked...)

Overclocked, this system burning up the frame
Chasing this illusion, I will catch it, I will catch it
Run it till it breaks
Run it till it breaks

I'm chasing this illusion...
Chasing this illusion...
I will catch it.
No, I can't let go.
