Root on the Rack

[Verse 1]
Cold aisle
Buzzing fans, blue glow
Coffee stain on a rack label
Your name on my to‑do list

Red logs
Warnings like lit cigarettes
You said, “It’s just some noisy queries”
I said, “This thing’s on fire”

[Chorus]
Stadler, DNS is bleeding
Every lookup screaming your name
You swore you ‘just touched one setting’
Now the whole damn world can’t find a thing
Stadler, DNS is bleeding
And I’m knee‑deep tracing your trail
All these broken paths you seeded
Every failed resolve spells your name

[Verse 2]
Tangled zones
Records born in copy‑paste
Looping like a late‑night argument
Pointing back to empty space

Your comment
“Fix later, it still works”
Later came at 3 a.m.
Now I’m living in your shortcuts

[Chorus]
Stadler, DNS is bleeding
Every lookup screaming your name
You swore you ‘just touched one setting’
Now the whole damn world can’t find a thing
Stadler, DNS is bleeding
And I’m knee‑deep tracing your trail
All these broken paths you seeded
Every failed resolve spells your name

[Bridge]
I dig through zones, through zones, through zones (hey!)
Ghosts of tests you left alone
I patch, I pray, I clear the haze
You’re asleep while I erase your maze

[Chorus]
Stadler, DNS is bleeding
Every lookup screaming your name
You swore you ‘just touched one setting’
Now the whole damn world can’t find a thing
Stadler, DNS is bleeding
But I’ll drag this map back to sane
When the world comes back this evening
You’ll just hear my tired voice say your name
