"write a song about a failing circuit board, from the perspective of the last functioning resistor"
-Nightmother

every second
every minute
every hour of every day
there's only one thing i'm to do
and i so willingly obey

but when my input dissapears
i realise all my long-lived fears
have come to pass
my task is over
i am through

----
CHORUS

we work(ed) so well together
why do we now fall apart?
they take the path of least resistance
and it bypasses my heart

i've been so loyal
been so thorough
counting every single one
but now there's only just a trickle
very soon there will be none
(there will be none)
----

don't believe a word they say
they will take it all away

and you will die
alone and disconnected
left behind

they've moved along
to new technology
their ignorance defined

----
CHORUS
----

you could put me in a laptop, i'd be fine
you could put me in a drum machine and i'd be fine
if you put me in a watch i'd run on time
and if you put me in a lightswitch i would make that lightswitch shine

in a calculator, i would never fail
in a battleship i'd constantly prevail
in a taser i could make a rhino fall onto its knees
i would never let you down
if you let my use my expertise

----
CHORUS
