Neon Syntax - Locked in the Code

Verse 1

Wake up—blank screen, same scene, heavy eyes

Routine flickers sharp, truth’s wrapped up in lies

Step out the door, but I’m neon-glitched, controlled

Every shadow’s watching, stories sold and resold

Clock ticks digital, lost my sense of pace

Reality’s a circuit, can’t keep up with this race

Dreams coded backwards, trapped inside my cell

Smiles feel empty, can’t remember when I fell

Chorus

Living day by day, tied up in the wires

Screens feeding dreams, but the dreams getting drier

Another day spent lost, blue code in my veins

Try to break the system, but I'm locked in these chains

Chorus

Living day by day, tied up in the wires

Screens feeding dreams, but the dreams getting drier

Another day spent lost, blue code in my veins

Try to break the system, but I'm locked in these chains

Verse 2

Plug in, data falls like rain on skin, can't feel

Searching for an answer, but the meaning isn't real

Breathing static, bitter taste, truth hidden in a file

I'm frozen in the surface, but my mind runs wild

Pre-Chorus

Blink and it resets, memory erased

Another morning comes with an unfamiliar face

Caught up in the static, try to find my place

But it all repeats, another faceless race

Chorus

Living day by day, tied up in the wires

Screens feeding dreams, but the dreams getting drier

Another day spent lost, blue code in my veins

Try to break the system, but I'm locked in these chains

Post-Chorus

Lost, lost, lines in my mind

Lost, lost, no exit to find

Bridge

System glitch creeping, alarms start to blare

Fingers on the glass, can't break out, just stare

Pulses in the silence, feeling less and less

Synthetic voices tell me this is all for the best

Verse 3

Night falls cold, wires hum through my chest

Numbers in my vision, napping hope with no rest

Try to rewrite fate, but the font stays the same

Programmed to obey, keep playing this game

Chorus

Living day by day, tied up in the wires

Screens feeding dreams, but the dreams getting drier

Another day spent lost, blue code in my veins

Try to break the system, but I'm locked in these chains

Post-Chorus

Lost, lost, lines in my mind

Lost, lost, no exit to find

Outro

Counting pixels fading, can't recall what was real

Heartbeat artificial, I forgot how to heal

Reflections glitch and scatter, I dissolve in the spin

Every moment's borrowed, waiting for it to begin

Pulled by the circuits, sinking low in my lane

Silent revolution, but the code stays the same

Looping through resistance, till the signals decay

Tomorrow’s just a number—still living day by day
