Burnout.
Burnout.
The clock is ticking
Back and forth then again
Back and forth
Wanting to hit the reset button
The perfect do-over
Each day we hit that button
Heavy filled heads
Slammed into the airy pillow
Recharging
Resetting
The start of a new cycle
In a blink of an eye
Everything in cruise control
Autopilot
The clock starts ticking
Back and forth then again
Back and forth
Dragging every inch
Everything is closing in
But then again
We all end up just hitting that button
Recharging
Resetting
The start of a new cycle
As my eyes widen
Everything soon quiets down
Looking around
More than 70,000 stimulants
Around me
Through me
That's when I realized it
Burnout.
