[Verse 1]
Glass towers glow in toxic pink
Billboards talk in your native dream
Smiling teeth in a dead-eyed loop
Selling joy to an empty street
I trace my name on a cracked-up screen
Static sky over rust and steam
You say “nothing here is real”
I say “that’s the only thing I feel”
[Chorus]
We’re driving through a chromed out tomorrow
Burning in electric sorrow
Neon gods in the rearview fade
Hologram hearts on parade
If it’s all just code and cinders
Hold me while the circuit flickers
We’re the last ones under this fake blue star
Let the ghosts of the future steer the car (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Glass rain falls in a silent storm
Steel vines crawl where the trees were born
Kids play tag with a phantom sun
Chasing light from a broken gun
Billboard saints promise brand new skin
Upgrade hope
Throw your past in the bin
You laugh
“we’re already erased”
Then kiss me hard like we can’t be replaced
[Chorus]
We’re driving through a chromed out tomorrow
Burning in electric sorrow
Neon gods in the rearview fade
Hologram hearts on parade
If it’s all just code and cinders
Hold me while the circuit flickers
We’re the last ones under this fake blue star
Let the ghosts of the future steer the car (oh yeah)
[Bridge]
City on life support
Breathing fumes
Prayers in pixels
Crowded rooms
Would you stay when the skyline dies
If all that’s left is your hand in mine?
[Chorus]
We’re driving through a chromed out tomorrow
Burning in electric sorrow
Neon gods in the rearview fade
Hologram hearts on parade
If it’s all just code and cinders
Hold me while the circuit flickers
We’re the last ones under this fake blue star
Let the ghosts of the future steer the car
Let the ghosts of the future steer the car
