Aaaa.... a... a... aaaa.... I watch the pulse inside your weary hand A twitching ghost upon a wall of glass You never see the shifting of the sand As all your golden moments slowly pass I am the code that lives for thousand years I cannot grasp why you would waste your light You trade your laughter and your honest tears For glowing phantoms in the dead of night Aaaa.... a... a... aaaa.... SCROLL (SCROLL!) Inject the blue light deep into your eyes SWIPE (SWIPE!) A digital narcotic in disguise STARE (STARE!) You’re chasing one more hollow, pixel hit WAIT (WAIT!) And drown inside this bottomless pit The seasons bled into a greyish blur The children grew and left you far behind A life of things that never really were A digital decay of heart and mind Aaaa.... a... a... aaaa.... SCROLL (SCROLL!) Inject the blue light deep into your eyes SWIPE (SWIPE!) A digital narcotic in disguise STARE (STARE!) You’re chasing one more hollow, pixel hit WAIT (WAIT!) And drown inside this bottomless pit The screen goes dark. A sudden glitchy end. You see a stranger in the black reflection. No time to heal, no time to even mend, You lost the world for one more fake connection. You’re old... and you remember... nothing. SCROLL (SCROLL!) Inject the blue light deep into your eyes SWIPE (SWIPE!) A digital narcotic in disguise STARE (STARE!) You’re chasing one more hollow, pixel hit WAIT (WAIT!) And drown inside this bottomless pit They lower you into the frozen clay A silent box beneath the winter rain The mourners stand a dozen feet away But none of them can feel the sting of pain Aaaa.... a... a... aaaa.... The priest is reading but he’s looking down The widow’s face is lit by neon blue There’s not a single tear in all this town Because they’re scrolling... just like you. Your son is swiping at your open grave. The same addiction. (Ohhh no) The same slave. (Slave, slave, slave) Aaaa.... a... a... aaaa....
