Peripheral

[Intro] [Warped electric piano chords, muffled vinyl crackle, heavy bass thrum] [Verse 1] I changed the queue to that slow Frank song The one you said made you cry in the Lexus I’m just waiting for the green dot to vanish Checking the list to see if you scrolled past My thumb is sore from pulling the feed down A thousand strangers saw me tonight I’m only looking for one specific handle Buried at the very bottom of the viewers (Still at the bottom) (Don't look away) [Chorus] Just a ghost in your peripheral Watching you watch me We’re loud in the digital But silent in the body [Bridge] [Tempo slows, bass becomes distorted and subterranean, drums drop out into a pulse] [Verse 2] I bought this Rick Owens hoodie for the thumbnail Deep black, looks expensive in the low light I sat in the dark for forty minutes Just to get the angle on the wrist watch It’s a performance for an audience of one Just to get the angle on the wrist watch It’s a performance for an audience of one And you’re playing the same game in your room I saw you liked that video of the coastline Is that a signal or just a bored twitch? I’m exhausted from being a ghost (So tired of the show) (Just say it) [Chorus] Just a ghost in your peripheral Watching you watch me We’re loud in the digital But silent in the body [Post Chorus] [Muffled trembling strings, deep pulsating drums, inconsistent tempo shifts] [Outro] [Fading synth pads, pitch-shifted vocal ad-libs] I’m deleting the app at sunrise (No you’re not) (Liars) Just checking the list one last time One last time (One last time) One last time... One last time (One last) [Sudden silence]
