[Verse 1 — arcade bleeps, chopped vocals] One more token, one more stage I've bought your joy with all my days I land the jumps, collect the gold You point at one missed bonus code [Pre-Chorus — arpeggiated synth] My initials never make the screen I forgot what winning used to mean [Chorus — explosive harmonies] It's an arcade with no final level One wrong move and the score resets I beat the boss, you move the target Then circle every chance I missed I want to pull the power cable And watch the whole machine go black But other hands are on the console And I can't take their chances back (Go, go, go / don't go) [Verse 2 — syncopated bass] My own game waits behind the glass With all the lives I didn't have [Bridge — half-time drop] A clean restart might save my name But who gets hurt outside the game? [Outro — fading bitcrush] Insert another piece of me The screen still says I'm incomplete
