It’s horror on repeat
Wake up, work, then bleed
Controller in my hands
Just to get away from me
New city, same old pain
Different pills, same old veins
I keep respawning in this cage
But my ways never change (never change, never change)
Alarm on my phone
Same four walls
New state
But it all feels old
Horror filled life, same script, new stage
New zip code but I keep the same rage
Name tag on and my soul in a cage
Clock in, clock out, rot day by day
Break room small talk, fake laugh, fake grin
Float through the aisles with a ghost in my skin
Smile at the boss while I’m breaking within
Every paycheck just a ticket to sin
It’s horror on repeat
Wake up, work, then bleed
Controller in my hands
Just to get away from me
New city, same old pain
Different pills, same old veins
I keep respawning in this cage
But my ways never change (never change)
Highways at night, I don’t see the road
Just staring at lines while my heart corrodes
GPS saying that I’m “almost home”
But it don’t know how deep the black hole goes
Lights off, screen on, headset, escape
Click “join party” just to mute the ache
New map, same fear, camping in the shade
Hide in pixels ‘til my eyes decay
Friends in my ear talk trash, crack jokes
They don’t hear the static when my hope chokes
Lag out the pain, let the headset soak
Tears on the mic while I say “I’m woke” (I’m fine)
It’s horror on repeat
Wake up, work, then bleed
Controller in my hands
Just to get away from me
New city, same old pain
Different pills, same old veins
I keep respawning in this cage
But my ways never change (never change)
Is this living or a loading screen?
Am I stuck between what I was and what I’ll never be?
Every level ends the same way
Face down in the dark
Save file in the grave
It’s horror on repeat
Wake up, work, then bleed
Controller in my hands
Just to get away from me
New city, same old pain
Different pills, same old veins
I keep respawning in this cage
But my ways never change (never change, never change)
