[Verse 1] Snack crumbs on the space bar Homework open Never touched Clock says “late" I say “later” One more run I’m not done much Wood walls on a paper house Rusty pipe and patchwork dreams Chat says “dude You’re underbuilt” I just laugh and stack my beams [Chorus] Then the sky goes red on my screen And the room starts glowing the same Hear the siren in the pixels scream But it’s calling out my name When the blood moon rises I lean in close Till the border of the glass breaks wide Now I’m standing in the dust In my torn-up clothes Guess I logged in on the wrong side On the wrong side (hey!) [Verse 2] Street sign spinning Letters glitch Mailbox full of broken loot That’s my base But blown to splinters There’s my backpack There’s my boots I can feel my own pulse ticking Like the timer on the horde Every footstep in the gravel Sounds like someone loading more [Chorus] Yeah the sky burns red over me And my heart keeps racing the clock Hear the siren from the distant city Like a key grinding in a lock When the blood moon rises There’s no pause screen Every shadow wants a bite of my pride I was just a kid grinding XP Now I’m stuck on the inside On the inside (oh!) [Bridge] Mom yells “bedtime” through the static Her voice fades into the wind Pause menu hanging in the heavens But nothing ever pauses in I shout back through cracked antennas “Give me just one wave to ride” Lightning writes across the skyline “Last wave Kid” in crooked lines [Chorus] So the sky stays red I stay small With a stone axe Shaking hands Hear the howling rushing through the walls Like the game forgot it’s just pretend When the blood moon rises I’m wide awake Every heartbeat counted down in my mind If I make it to the dawn Maybe I’ll wake Back safe on the other side Back safe on the other side (yeah) Back safe on the other side
