[Intro]
Keys in the dark
Screen glow on my face
Whole world burning
Same chair, same place
[Verse 1]
Everybody on a imaginary life
Scroll, tap, blink, fake paradise
One shot, that’s all it really take
To crack this glass, feel the quake
Reality is harsh, you can taste that rust
But we dress it up in glitter and dust
Not on the TV, it’s outside the door
Dead-eyed kids in the corner store
[Chorus]
One shot, it all can end
We pretend, we pretend, we pretend
Eyes wide open, still we stay shut
Watching the show while we spill our own blood
One shot
One shot
[Verse 2]
Look around the world, hear that cold laugh
Rich eat steak, we chew on the scraps
Scroll past tears like they background noise
Another war clip, another lost boy
Ours eyes stay shut, but our hands stay busy
New post, new joke, anything to stay dizzy
You feel that pit when the screen goes black?
That’s your real life trying to crawl back
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Change the channel, change your clothes
Change your name, but the sickness grows
[whispered vocals]
It’s in the water, in the bread you break
In that forced smile every morning you fake
[crescendo]
If this is the script, I’m done with the role
Tear down the set, let it swallow the show
If one shot’s all it takes tonight
Aim at the lie, not your own life
[Chorus]
