[Verse 1]

I used to think if I could realize I'd die

Then I would be a lot nicer

Used to believe in a lot more

Now I just see straight ahead

That's not to say I don't have good times

But as for my days, I spend them waiting


[Chorus]

Crash sites keep me up at night

Impact division, it splits in two

Directly underneath you


[Verse 2]

As for those things (As for those things)

That act as markers in your life

But in between (But in between)

You can't remember

And so it seems (And so it seems)

That you've grown up and over me (Up and over me)

And these silly things (These silly things)

I like to dwell on (Dwell on)


[Chorus]

Test sites keep me up at night

Chainlink and meters, I talk to you

It's cold out there, but I'm telling you

I'm lonely, too


[Bridge]

Facts versus romance

You go and call yourself the boss

But we're not robots inside a grid

Text versus romance

You go and add it all you want

Still, we're not robots inside a grid


[Outro]

Zeros and ones
