[Intro] [Driving drum fill, feedback squeal] One, two, three, four! [Verse 1] Woke up at six, scrolling through the feed Another notification of someone else's succeed My inbox is a graveyard of (urgent) demands Got a boss who talks in riddles and a schedule that strands [Verse 2] My jeans are too tight, my wallet's too thin I'm losing the battle that I can't seem to win The city lights are glowing like a digital lie I'm just a data point waiting to die [Chorus 1] But You catch me in the breakdown When my circuits overload You turn the static into a sound That takes me back home I'm a pixel in Your portrait Not a number in a file Give me strength to face the panic With a rebellious smile [Verse 3] The clock on the wall is a ticking time bomb My youth is slipping away like a forgotten calm But I remember the fire I felt as a kid Before the weight of the world on my shoulders was hid [Chorus 2] Yeah, You catch me in the mosh pit Of my own anxiety You tear down the cubicle walls And set my spirit free I'm a pixel in Your portrait Not a line on a graph Help me flip the system's table With a righteous, holy laugh [Bridge] [Tempo slows, then builds] I'm not built for the machine! I'm built for the dream! You are the static... AND THE CLARITY! [Outro] [Fast, distorted power chord] Pixels and panic! (Hey!) You are the static! (One last scream!)
