[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Ten years gone, but the ghost still lingers,
Dad’s old laugh fades in the pixels and fingers.
Thirty’s a maze, I’m just tracing the walls,
Adderall mornings, smoke-filled nightfalls.
Tags on the train tracks, controllers in hand,
A world in the screen where the pain’s less grand.
Voicemails stack up, but the silence stays thick,
A heart wrapped in static—can’t hit rewind quick.
[Pre-Chorus]
Colors e*****e when the spray can hits brick,
But the highs never stick, just a temporary fix.
I’m a ghost in the grid, no reset, no save,
Drowning in waves that I’m too numb to brave.
[Chorus]
Alone in the static, I scream without sound,
A flicker of light where the dark pulls me down.
I don’t wanna stay, but I can’t let them bleed,
So I dance in the chaos where the shadows don’t leave.
[Verse 2]
Mom’s voice on repeat, “When you coming around?”
But the dial tone’s easier than breaking this ground.
EDM beats c***h like the storms in my veins,
Amphetamine sunrise to numb all the pains.
Pixel skies glow as the joystick ignites,
But the game’s never over—just endless fake lives.
[Bridge]
What’s left of the boy who once laughed in the sun?
A man in the mirror, a fuse come undone.
The graffiti screams louder than I ever could,
Maybe tomorrow I’ll paint something good…
[Chorus]
Alone in the static, I scream without sound,
A flicker of light where the dark pulls me down.
I don’t wanna stay, but I can’t let them bleed,
So I dance in the chaos where the shadows don’t leave.
[Outro]
