Collab with LostMarbles https://suno.com/@lostmarbles I been trapped in the noise of a loading screen Chasin’ old dreams through a broken machine Had my name on the board but it never felt real High score heart with a low-health feel Late nights glow from the CRT light Everybody online but I’m dead inside Tried to respawn but the game moved on So I hide my pain when the headphones on I been livin’ like a ghost in a cartridge Smilin’ outside while my heart stays guarded Every level got scars in the margins Every checkpoint still left me departed And I know they see the lights and the colors But they never see the war undercover Everybody loves the player I made Not the kid who sat alone for days I still hear them old dial tones Still feel pain in these bright neon homes Tryna patch every crack in my soul Like corrupted data nobody knows And I still got friends in my memories Frozen frames like abandoned dreams Whole life fit in a memory card Now I write these songs just to heal these scars And every night I reboot Tryna find where my mind went wrong Static in my headphones But your voice still keeps me strong We got memories burnin’ in 8-bit Broken dreams but we still can’t escape it Every save point feels temporary Like happiness was never meant to carry We been runnin’ through our past lives Dodgin’ all the ghosts in the blacklight If our hearts crash, don’t erase us Leave our souls inside the playlist I made jokes just to hide where it hurt Pixelated smile with my face in the dirt Every friend list faded like a dead arcade Now I talk to the echoes of the games we played I got passwords saved to a life I lost I kept my save file under names I forgot If you hear me glitch when the lights turn blue That’s the part of me still reaching you And the soundtrack skip when I think too much Old save files that I can’t un-touch Every broken level still stays in me Like a hidden boss nobody else can see If we disappear inside the static Will they notice? Will they notice? If our souls turn into soundtracks Will they play it? Will they play it? We got memories burnin’ in 8-bit Broken dreams but we still can’t escape it Every save point feels temporary Like happiness was never meant to carry We been runnin’ through our past lives Dodgin’ all the ghosts in the blacklight If our hearts crash, don’t erase us Leave our souls inside the playlist Maybe we were never broken… Maybe we were just unfinished files…
