(Verse 1)
Wake up to the clicking of the clock
Twelve million steps and I still don't want to stop
The iron in the fire, the sweat on my brow
I’m chasing down a legend, and I’m starting right now
Trading all my hours for a glimmer in the pan
Just another stranger in a digital land
The border’s getting closer, the air’s getting cold
I’m looking for the glitter, but I’m finding the gold
(Pre-Chorus)
(Music builds with a rising snare roll)
(Bass starts to wobble)
I can feel the click, I can feel the grind
Leave the heavy world and the weight behind
Cross the white wall where the law doesn't reach
Listen to the lessons that the silence will teach
(Chorus)
(The Drop: High energy, heavy bass, chopped vocal samples)
Lost in the loop!
(Synth melody hits hard and bright)
Yeah, we’re running the circuit!
Every frame, every beat
Feel the rhythm in the repetition
(Drop continues with aggressive synth stabs)
(Verse 2)
Saw a man in a cape with a glow in his hand
He’s seen every corner of this pixelated sand
I’m stacking up the wood just to watch it all burn
Waiting for the moment that I finally earn
A seat at the table, a name in the hall
Before the server resets and we lose it all
Blue sparks flying when the steel hits the stone
In a world full of people, but I’m grinding alone
