STATIC

Wake every day, it's all work and no play

Wouldn't it be nice to push all your troubles away?

When the whole world is just too much to take

Surely it's fine to indulge in just one little break


I slip headphones on my ears

I flash a grin

Listen there's nothing to fear

It's not a sin

Blast white noise into my skull

Embrace the haze

The world is no longer dull

Beautiful daze


Colourful scenes are flashing in the static

The dopamine flooding my brain, ecstatic

This is the satisfaction I've been craving

Don't think I wanna wake up from this daydream


Every moment of every day

I find I'm donning my headphones and slipping away

Soon every second my body's awake

My mind is drowned in fantasia, was this a mistake?


No time for food or for sleep

My bed is cold

Maybe I've fallen too deep

Static takes hold

Real life means nothing to me

When there's fiction

No, something like this can't be

An addiction

All of my senses are lost in the static

Can't feel my movements becoming erratic

Still I again and again feed the cravings

I don't know how to escape from this daydream


[Instrumental]


The rushing euphoria

It's all empty

Sweet phantasmagoria

It lied to me

Took all that was left of me

Without giving

A life lived in fantasy

Is not living


My future melts, the whole world turns to static

Behind my eyes, though, it's polychromatic

Don't mourn me now, seems that I'm beyond saving

Don't think I'll ever wake up from this daydream


Colourful scenes are flashing in the static

The dopamine flooding my brain, ecstatic

This is the satisfaction I've been craving

Don't think I wanna wake up from this daydream
