Oceanic Syndicate - Sundowner Lyrics

[Intro]
Sunset fades, ice in my glass
These million-dollar views just make me feel like trash
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Rollin' up to this penthouse party, feelin' out of place
Bitcoin bros and VC sharks, can't stand to see their face
Sarah Chen, you snake in Gucci, thought we had it made
Lost my coins when you switched sides, now the trust just fades
Sippin' on this sundowner, watch the valley glow
While these tech bros talk 'bout Series A like that's all they know
Got my Tesla parked outside but I'm dead inside
All these startup dreams we built, turned out to be lies

[Chorus]
Sundowner, watch me break down (yeah)
Million-dollar view but I'm face down (face down)
Silicon dreams turn into nightmares
Fake friends disappear when the light fades
Sundowner, pour it up slow (slow)
Watch these frauds put on their show (their show)
Got my pockets full but my soul's empty
Living life like it's just pretend, see

[Verse 2]
Y'all talk disruption while I'm self-destructin'
These unicorn dreams got me really f*cked up and
Everyone's fake deep, posting 'bout their grind
While I'm in the bathroom trying to keep my mind
Started from the bottom, now we still ain't real
Stack of equity but can't tell you how I feel
Sarah's across the room with her new tech lead
Posted up with venture cash she stole from me

[Bridge]
The sun goes down (down)
The masks come off (off)
These valley kids (kids)
They're so damn soft (soft)

[Verse 3]
Algorithms got me figured out but I'm lost as f*ck
Pitch decks and term sheets, man, I'm giving up
Used to code for passion, now I code for show
These startup parties killing everything I used to know
Drinking top-shelf poison, watching shadows grow
Silicon Valley sunset, putting on my show
But deep inside I'm glitching out, system's gonna crash
All these fake connections turning into digital trash

[Outro]
Sundowner, yeah
Watch me fade out
Till there's nothing left
But zeroes and ones in my head
Yeah, yeah
