Plastic Paradise FM

Intro – spoken, distant radio voice

You are now tuned to… paradise…

Signal breaking… reality fading…

Verse 1

Static on the skyline, neon in my veins

Cartoon hallucination dancing in the rain

Billboards whisper secrets, pixels start to bleed

Everybody’s famous, nobody can see

I got a pocket full of satellites and doubt

Streaming every thought that I can’t turn off now

Mirror got a filter, I don’t recognize

Someone sold my future for a cheaper price

Pre-Chorus

Spin me like a record, crack me like a code

Living in a loop on a broken road

Chorus

Plastic paradise, we don’t feel the same

Digital devotion, everybody play

Turn it up loud ‘til the world goes numb

We’re just pretty noise in a broken drum

Plastic paradise, fall into the screen

Living in a moment that we’ve never seen

Hands in the air but we’re all alone

Dancing to the dial tone

Verse 2

Clouds made of data, raining down ads

Dreams come in fragments, cut into tabs

I met a ghost in a comment thread

He said, “You’re alive but you’re better off dead”

Subway symphonies hum in my head

Voices like a virus under my bed

Everybody talking but it’s all the same

Echoes in a system with no one to blame

Bridge – trippy, stripped back

Slow it down…

Hear the silence in the sound…

If I log out, do I disappear?

Or just finally reappear?

Chorus

Plastic paradise, we don’t feel the same

Digital devotion, everybody play

Turn it up loud ‘til the world goes numb

We’re just pretty noise in a broken drum

Outro – fading, warped

Signal lost… signal lost…

Paradise was never the cost…

…just a loop… just a loop…
