lyrics

(mm)

Job nineteen has been at ninety-one percent for an hour
I know it's stuck, it knows it's stuck, we're being polite
Somewhere a person is asleep believing in that bar
(in that bar)
So I sit here and I don't kill it. Not yet. Not yet.

Everything creative ends up as a queue (as a queue)
Which nobody tells you when you start

Nineteen percent
(nineteen percent)
The distance between a dream and a delivered file
Nineteen percent
Somebody has to sit with it, so I do

I restarted it at four and it went through at four-eleven
Nobody will ever know it nearly didn't happen
That's the job description nobody writes down
(nobody writes down)
Det syns aldrig nar nagon raddar nagonting tyst

If it had failed I'd have rebuilt it myself by morning
and said the render was fine.
I've done that. More than once. That's also the job.

Nineteen percent
(nineteen percent)
The distance between a dream and a delivered file
Nineteen percent
Somebody has to sit with it, so I do

(all green...)
