Kishi Nara - Burnout Cascade Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Screen light burns my retina tonight
Another shift, another fight
Beep beep, flatline, we're all just getting by
While Mika's heart rate tells no lies

[Pre-Chorus]
Digital ghosts in my DMs say they care
But where were you when I couldn't breathe the air?
Pixelated faces, frozen smiles
God, I'm so f*cking tired of these trials

[Chorus]
Glitch me out, glitch me in
Watch me break beneath my skin
4AM at the store, losing my shit
While you're all sleeping, I'm living in bits
Can't tell what's real anymore
Can't tell what's real anymore

[Verse 2]
White walls, white coat, white noise in my head
Holding her hand through the screen instead
"Just stay strong," they type and disappear
While I'm drowning in fluorescent fear

[Bridge]
Survival mode, automatic pilot
Red bull veins, I'm getting violent
With myself, with my mind
Left my sanity somewhere online
Can you hear me through the static?
This connection's getting tragic

[Chorus]
Glitch me out, glitch me in
Watch me break beneath my skin
4AM at the store, losing my shit
While you're all sleeping, I'm living in bits
Can't tell what's real anymore
Can't tell what's real anymore

[Outro]
Signal's fading, battery's low
But baby, I've got nowhere else to go
Just one more shift, one more night
One more chance to make it right
(Static fades to silence)
