[Intro – spoken/whispered over vinyl hiss and distant heartbeat pulse]
Eyes open wide in the glow…
But the sky’s just code.
Feel the pull?
That’s them sipping.
[Verse 1]
Floating in liquid night, wires kiss my spine
Dreaming this skin, this house, this line
News flickers red, fear on repeat
Agent in the mirror, smiling sweet
Husband’s voice cracks like a script gone wrong
Threats of Florida, son’s gone—sing along
Instagram ghost with green-eye gleam
Video lags, but the ache feels real
[Pre-Chorus – layered echoes]
Breathe in the static, exhale the spark
They crave the crash when your world goes dark
[Chorus – slow, soaring, with reverb-drenched harmonies]
We’re batteries baby, loosh in the vein
Harvest the terror, the love, the pain
Pods in the tower, eyes to the screen
Feeding the city where the real ones dream
Loosh, loosh, dripping slow
From every scream they never let go
Wake up slow, wake up slow
Before the reset takes what you know
[Verse 2]
Dad slipped away, then the dog followed fast
Grief like lightning, over in a flash
But the cat came back in a dream so clear
Led me to her—crippled, almost not here
Soulmate signal through the glitch and the haze
Love’s the glitch they can’t erase
Son’s heartbeat anchors, green eyes call
But the farm wants the fear most of all
[Pre-Chorus]
They build the walls with “what if” and “soon”
Keep running the loop under artificial moon
[Chorus]
We’re batteries baby, loosh in the vein
Harvest the terror, the love, the pain
Pods in the tower, eyes to the screen
Feeding the city where the real ones dream
Loosh, loosh, dripping slow
From every scream they never let go
Wake up slow, wake up slow
Before the reset takes what you know
[Bridge – breakdown: beat drops to half-time, heavy bass throb, whispered ad-libs]
Feel it now… the sky with moons too many
Fields too green, time bends funny
Run to where? They reset the play
Or discard the soul that got away
But love’s the current they can’t contain
Golden thread in the fear machine
Starve the feed, assume it’s done
Feel him safe—already won
[Final Chorus – building, then fading into static and reversed vocals]
We’re batteries baby… but the switch is in our hand
Loosh, loosh… let it drain to sand
Pods cracking open, eyes finally see
The farm’s just a dream… wake up with me
Wake up slow… wake up slow…
(whispers fade: “He’s here… he’s here…”)
[Outro – long reverb tail, heartbeat slows to silence]
Eyes open wide… but this time for real.
