Track Notes

A story about boundaries, scope creep, and the cost of saying yes to everything. It carries a subtle ache under the drive, like a warning label with teeth.

Lyrics
[Verse 1] Watch the features grow, they're getting bigger every time / A moving goalpost's dance is an art that's hard to find Another random ask adds chaos to the plan And as we sprint to meet the mark, the lines shift once again [Pre-Chorus] Now push, pull, break-man, we never had a chance With timelines stretched and breaking code, they still demand a glance And now we're stuck again / Caught in scope's extend / Nice mess they made / It'll never end [Chorus] With a thousand changes and a shifting goal Push the limits, lose control (2x) When the rules all change, nothing stays the same See the panic in their eyes Watch the deadline start to die [Verse 2] Slipping through the cracks, the boundaries blur and fade / Every shiny thought becomes a task we're forced to trade The backlog never ends, it grows and swallows whole / And every fix we make just leaves another hole [Pre-Chorus] Now push, pull, break-man, they'll never let it stop The waterfall turns tidal waves, it's crashing from the top And now we're caught again Locked in scope's pretend The goals they fake Will never bend [Chorus] [Bridge] Scope's a beast, it feeds, no matter what we plead They pile high, we fall beneath No escape, we're stuck, the hours all erupt But we rise again from the dust [Outro] Clever workarounds, bending to the tides Push the limits, lose control (2x) When the rules all change, nothing stays the same See the fire in our eyes We'll deliver through the night
