Marnie’s Portal

Office fluorescent lights are getting way too loud

I'm ready to escape the neon city crowd

Slip through the doorway, heavy lock clicks down

I'm turning off the static of this modern town

My dusk is glowing

in a lavender shade

Replaying games that I haven't played in an age

Oh, take me back to Cromwellstown

Where pumpkin lanterns light the sky

I wanna step inside the screen

It's a Halloween town in the neon night

Just say the words, open up the gate

Before my real world grows complicated

Let's leave the anxiety behind the wall

And lose ourselves inside Armani's portal

got a stack of tapes

That's cluttered up on the floor

Staring at a notification

Staring at the door

They say a crush is like a magical spell

But right now it feels like a

out

Dial the frequency low

And drift away to where the friendly girls go

Oh, take me back to Cromwellstown

Where pumpkin lanterns light the sky

I wanna step inside the screens

The Halloween town and the neon night

Just say the words, open up the gate

Before my real world worries complicate

Let's leave the anxiety behind the wall

And lose ourselves inside Armani's portal

If I stay in the safe zone forever

Will I ever learn how to feel?

Is a pixelated paradise better

Than a heartbeat that is heavy and real?

I can hide in the shadow of a movie screen

But tomorrow I'm gonna wake up from a dream

Yeah, tomorrow I gotta face just the routine

Take me back to Cromwellstown

Where pumpkin lanterns light the sky

I wanna step inside the screen

To Halloween Town and the neon night

Just say the words, open up the gate

Before my real world worries complicate

Let's leave the anxiety behind the wall

And lose ourselves inside of Marni's portal

Behind the wall

Yeah, secure the file
