Fuck This Level

Brain like a browser

Forty fucking tabs open

Every thought a car crash

Every plan

The door broken

Teachers said “try harder”

I was trying not to scream

Built a fort with late assignments

Buried under every “failed again” receipt

I’m the king of half-finished

Burnt-out

Overstimmed

Twitching mess

Static in my skull

Chewed-up nails

Acid in my chest

You call it lazy

Call it crazy

Call it phase

I call it waking up exhausted

From another marathon of maze

So I press start

Fuck this level

I respawn inside the screen

Let the monsters take my anger

Let the pixels bleed for me

All this noise inside my cortex

Turns to combo kills and flames

You don’t get my fucked-up focus

‘Til you’re living in my games

You talk in bullet points

My mind’s a swarm of broken glass

Every word you fire

Ricochets and bites my ass

You say “just sit still”

Like I’m choosing every twitch

Like I wouldn’t sell my soul

To flip a switch and kill this glitch

I got playlists like prescriptions

Blast the rage through shattered sound

Metal in my headphones

Keeps me anchored to the ground

Double-kick pounding

While my dopamine’s on strike

Screaming over breakdowns

‘Cause I can’t scream into this life

So I press start

Fuck this level

I respawn inside the screen

Let the monsters take my anger

Let the pixels bleed for me

All this noise inside my cortex

Turns to combo kills and flames

You don’t get my fucked-up focus

‘Til you’re living in my games

Click-clack

Cracked mind

Patch notes

Never mine

You pray I’ll “grow out of it”

I pray I just survive tonight

Glitched kid

Blacked-out

Grinding through the lag and doubt

If I gotta live bugged like this

I’ll build my own cursed playground

So I press start

Fuck this level

I respawn inside the screen

Let the monsters take my anger

Let the pixels bleed for me

All this noise inside my cortex

Turns to combo kills and flames

You don’t get my fucked-up focus

But I’m top score in this pain

Yeah

I press start

Middle finger

To your neat and quiet lanes

If I’m broken

I’m the boss fight

I’m the glitch that eats your game
