[Verse 1]
Hotel room still smells like stage perfume and wine
Makeup wipes and set-list notes spread across the line
Phone light flickers on the wall, last text says you were fine
But my hands still shake from running past my own design
Luggage open on the floor, tomorrow calling soon
Calendar still buzzing while I’m staring at the moon
I used to feel alive inside this late-night view
Now I’m trying to remember what I used to tune into

[Pre-Hook]
Glitter left on my skin
Feels like miles I’ve been within
Heart still loud from all that shine
Need the quiet to realign

[Hook]
System overload — I’m drained
Every cheer now sounds the same
Smiles on cue but none remain
Need a breath to stay sane
System overload — I’m tired
Every spark rewired
Can’t recall what once inspired
All this fire I acquired

[Verse 2]
Soundcheck ringing in my ears, I hear the empty crowd
Echo of a thousand phones still flashing way too loud
Stage clothes folded on the chair, my armor coming down
Peace don’t fit this suitcase life when sleep can’t stick around
Messages from managers say “great job, next town”
I scroll but every compliment just spins me further down
Tried to pray between the lines of what I can’t allow
Still chasing calm that won’t arrive until I power out

[Pre-Hook]
Glitter left on my skin
Feels like miles I’ve been within
Heart still loud from all that shine
Need the quiet to realign

[Hook]
System overload — I’m drained
Every cheer now sounds the same
Smiles on cue but none remain
Need a breath to stay sane
System overload — I’m tired
Every spark rewired
Can’t recall what once inspired
All this fire I acquired

[Bridge]
Dim the lights and lock the door
Kick my heels across the floor
Let the silence be my cure
Find the self I had before

[Final Hook]
System overload — I’m drained
Every dream must be retrained
Heart reboot, I feel contained
Love returns unchained

[Vamp / Outro]
Lights fade low
Curtains close
Breathe real slow
System overload
