Lyrics
Intro
Yeah
Port Melbourne
Told 'em
Uh
Verse 1
Late
No bell
Fourteen absences
Mailbox is full of letters
Mum is screaming in Thai
I don't know what I did wrong
I don't know
Hyper
Mind racing
Pills on the nightstand
I just want to be calm
But the static is too loud
Too loud
Chorus
Stuck in the screen
I'm just playing my games
Running from the world
Running from the pain
Generation Last
That's what they say on the tube
But it's getting too real
In this empty room
Yeah it's getting too real
Yeah it's getting too real
Post-Chorus
No way out
No way out
(Ooh)
No way out
Verse 2
Dad
Call dropped
Mental health clinic
He says he’s coming home
He says he’s coming home
But the door stays locked
Empty
Quiet house
Except for the shouting
Mum thinks I’m just lazy
She don't see the brain fog
Brain fog
Cold
Grey skies
St. Kilda Road wind
Walking past the college
Knowing I won't go in
Won't go in
Chorus
Stuck in the screen
I'm just playing my games
Running from the world
Running from the pain
Generation Last
That's what they say on the tube
But it's getting too real
In this empty room
Yeah it's getting too real
Yeah it's getting too real
Bridge
Ricky and Elliot laughing
YouTube clips on the monitor
But the joke isn't funny
The joke isn't funny
The joke isn't funny
I'm just a ghost in the suburb
Clicking keys in the dark
Roblox keeps me safe
Roblox keeps me safe
Verse 3
Focus
I can't
Teacher sends an email
Mum starts the lecture
I turn up the volume
I turn up the bass
Escape
Delete
Forget about the future
Forget about the debt
Forget about the name
Generation Last
Chorus
Stuck in the screen
I'm just playing my games
Running from the world
Running from the pain
Generation Last
That's what they say on the tube
But it's getting too real
In this empty room
Yeah it's getting too real
Yeah it's getting too real
Outro
Port Melbourne
Dark rooms
Just a kid
Generation Last
Yeah
(Ooh)
