Escape from the 24/7 Screen

Eyes red

Code lines bleed together

Ash tray full

Got tabs in stormy weather

Clock stuck

Same page, same blue glare

Talk big dreams

But I’m still locked in this chair

Cables like vines

Round my feet, round my throat

Inbox yells

While the days go up in smoke

Mama callin’

I let it ring, let it ring

Say I’m “grindin’”

Truth is, I don’t do a thing

Need an escape from the 24/7 screen (lemme breathe)

Every click, every drag, same routine

I been hiding in a pixel-perfect cage

Tryna log out, tryna walk off this stage

Need an escape from the 24/7 screen (yeah, I do)

Heart runnin’ but my body in a swivel-seat dream

If I don’t leave now, I’ll fade like steam

Need an escape from the 24/7 screen

Burnt out

But I light up again (again)

Tell myself

“One more line, then I’ll change”

Friends text

“Come outside, sky on fire”

Type back lies

“Deadlines, bro, I’m tied to this wire”

I ain’t livin’

I’m just parked, engine on

Eyes on numbers

Days off already gone

Close that lid

Let the cold air hit my face (ah)

Step out slow

Like I’m comin’ back from space

Need an escape from the 24/7 screen (lemme breathe)

Every click, every drag, same routine

I been hiding in a pixel-perfect cage

Tryna log out, tryna walk off this stage

Need an escape from the 24/7 screen (yeah, I do)

Heart runnin’ but my body in a swivel-seat dream

If I don’t leave now, I’ll fade like steam

Need an escape from the 24/7 screen (from the screen)
