[Intro — spoken over modem heartbeat, static rain] Given colllapse in economy Identity looking quite last ditch as well Livin a lonely anomaly dawned on me Shadowed by passion I sell [Verse 1 — weary, exhausted] Chased the rush until I lost it. Life a pain, I do my best. Takin' hits at all the targets. Wakin' up in a dopamine debt. My girl in a five-foot coffin. I wanna swap her out for a twenty-foot casket. I wanna laugh at my own reflection. I wanna add that to my bag of bad habits. I said what I said, and you know what I mean. But I still can't focus on anything. We live in this doubt but never offer to leave Shook by the wasted piling layup by our feet [Chorus — desperate, time signatures slipping] I'm still tryna get my head together before my brain forgets me. It's been rainin' all September. October's been depressin'. It's November, and I'm too tender. September's catchin' up with me. [Verse 2 — glitch-stutters enter, accelerating] Am I host or virus? A sinister specter in insta-papyrus. Sigil script silicon, stitched in my eyelids. Listen in silence. Insolence priceless. Toast to the crisis. It's dopamine debt mixed with soul on consignment. I'm the spark in the wreck that rewrote the assignment. This cipher bit back — ink in confession. Priest in a relapse, blink missing precious. We can't get backs — the leak in the text. They beg me for steps like this path ever mapped. Like the curse wasn't earned when I snapped through the trap. [Bridge — stripped, white noise floor] They don't know where I go when the screen turns to glass. Just a blur in the glow, but I've always been last. Always been mask. Always been glitch. Always one hit from the permanent switch. [Verse 3 — industrial pulse, full acceleration] Prometheus fire meet Pandora's box. No air in the tire, not a clean pair of socks. Mirror spoke in tongues. I answered with a weapon. Dead math, live code. Blame the imperfection. Who's watching who when the silence starts guessing? Cracked loop sermon, birthed in inversion. Spoke in reverse 'til the nurse started cursin'. Heard God glitch — said "ctrl the immersion." Pulled out the plug. Still felt the dispersion. Name tags melt. Truth comes in diversion. I died four times just to draft this version. [Outro — spoken, fading] Dammit the dawn keep on poundin me Wanna leave Instead I keep drinking a fall that I fell At least not a sober anomaly That’s what it takes if you wanna leave hell *[flatline beep]* *[dial-up handshake]* *[silence]*
